Founder & CEO
Collectd
May 2018 - Present
Collect’d is building the secure infrastructure for personal AI, enabling AI to work on behalf of individuals while giving enterprise AI secure, permissioned access to an individual’s complete personal context—including family, financial, health, education, employment, and other personal information—directly from the individual, under their control. This enables organizations to use information their AI can’t access today without requiring them to collect or store it themselves. Our initial focus is the U.S. military, where we’re helping reduce service members’ administrative burden, modernize personnel management, and improve readiness. Collect’d holds three issued U.S. patents and is Phase III eligible. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Fundraising and +12 skills

ScoreBig

Co-founded and led ScoreBig, a live-entertainment marketplace where fans named their price against a real-time dynamic reserve we set in the background, letting teams and venues sell unsold inventory below face value without publicly discounting or eroding their primary market. Worked with about a third of all major pro sports teams and every major primary ticketing company, including Ticketmaster and AEG. Grew the business beyond $100 million in GMV and raised more than $80 million in venture capital. The company was later acquired by TicketNetwork. Sports, Fundraising and +16 skills
