Chris Fure
Small Business Owner in California
I made a decision early in my life to pursue only what inspired me. As a result, I never went after prizes, but rather after knowledge and experiences. This led me to entrepreneurship, where I surrounded myself with extremely capable people, from whom I could learn. Along this path, I learned to hone my ideas, help others think through theirs, and find common ground for co-operation. This path brought me to the online platform space, where my interest has become to disrupt traditional paradigms and foster new functionality that helps users build community and expand productivity.
I am the head of development and a founding partner of Meaningful Act, Wonder Transmedia, and AlloPort. All three platforms are designed to expand how we express gratitude, obtain/apply skills, and improve quality of life, respectively.
I received my MBA from New York Institute of Technology, and my BA from University of CA, Berkeley. I spent the first third of my career producing music, where I launched SISTA SISTA for RCA/Iceberg, Germany. I spent the second third of my career developing businesses as the Sr. VP Development for TransGlobal Ventures, where I successfully proved/leveraged an IP piracy solution in China. And now, I'm spending the final third of my career launching and managing platform businesses, where I am co-operatively disrupting established social media, education, and healthcare models.
