Nothing provides me with more satisfaction than helping people connect emotionally with a new artist. So, in order to do this, I relentlessly keep up with the music industry.

This has led me to founding my first start-up - GigFunder (www.gigfunder.com). GigFunder allows fans to pledge money to their favorite artists to bring them to their city. Touring is expensive for artists and many can't profitably tour to any place except the largest markets. GigFunder will solve that.
