Before starting HealthCare.com, I co-founded ContactUs.com in 2012, which acquired in 2015 by WorkWave. ContactUs.com was software for online customer acquisition and lead management for small businesses.
Before that, I was a co-founder of the BrokersWeb, a vertically-targeted CPC ad marketplace. We reached #20 overall on the Inc 500 list for 2011 (#1 in Insurance category), and #50 overall (#1 in Insurance) for 2012 - with over $50M of annual revenue in 2011. It led to a successful exit for investors and founders by combining with Vantage Media in 2011.
From 2003 until 2007, I was a VC at VantagePoint Venture Partners, a VC fund. I started my career in 2000 as an investment banker with Merrill Lynch's global media group in NYC. I graduated from UPenn with an undergraduate degree from Wharton in 2000.
