About
I’m the founder of Carrotmob. I’ve spent most of my life in the SF Bay Area, growing up in Santa Rosa, going to school at Stanford, and living in Mountain View, Palo Alto, Berkeley, and currently San Francisco. In 2008 I orchestrated the first ever Carrotmob campaign [video]. This event kicked off what is now a growing global movement. Soon after launching Carrotmob, I co-founded Virgance, an incubator for social enterprises. We incubated several great projects (most prominently One Block Off The Grid, a company that does group-purchasing for solar energy systems) for a year and a half. In February 2010 we spun out all the projects in our incubator to be separate entities. Most of our team went on to work for One Block Off The Grid (for which we raised $5MM), but I started working full-time on Carrotmob, and now Carrotmob is just hitting its stride. This is an extremely exciting time. As I speak with people about what we can do with this movement, the energy is palpable in every conversation. If you would like to get involved, or would like to hear more about what we’re working on, drop me an email.
