I co-founded @TurnSocial in 2009 with @zaius and @30lines; it's used on close to 6000 websites (and counting) and receives many millions of pageviews monthly. The product pipeline is laced with awesomeness. Opportunity abounds.
I joined ChargeSmart when there was only 5 of us. We built a lot of cool stuff, grew to 43 employees, did ~$200MM in transactions in 2011, and were just acquired by Verifone in January 2012. You've probably never heard of us before.
That's ok; you have now.
My wife and I had a son recently, and few things in life crystallize focus like the birth of your first child. I came here to win; for him, for her, for myself, and for my partners. There's no recession here. Valuations are high, but technology is advancing exponentially. You and me - we're both part of the internet revolution.
Don't underestimate what the future holds. 2012 is only the beginning.
