Today’s guest is a serial tech entrepreneur, husband, father and
investor.
He has been starting businesses online for a long time — some have
failed, some have succeed in a massive way.
In 2005, he sold his first business InterMedia, to Bolt Media and
joined Bolt as its President.
During his time at Bolt he co-founded WikiYou, which raised
$500,000 from investors.
He went on and co-founded Yashi, a pioneer in the online video
advertising industry and today is an award winning advertising
technology company.
Yashi has been named Inc. Magazine's 5000 list of the
Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America for three consecutive
years, as well as numerous other awards.
In 2014, he was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year
Award finalist.
