| I figured i'd share a list of my projects. Yes, I have ADHD but as an excuse just about every entrepreneur and investor has ADHD to. After all, how can you possibly invest in 23 companies without having some form of ADD or ADHD? In fact i've never met an investor that doesn't have this blessed disease :) I'm thankful for having it, it allows me to multi-task like crazy and unleash my creativity on the fly.
1) TakesAllTypes.org - my facebook non profit
2) AdSolutia.com - the future of online advertising (about to start raising a big round)
3) Jwed.com/Frumster.com/Shoes! Facebook application. I'm doing some consulting and have an equity stake in Frumster.com, the largest jewish dating site for marriage (i also have the title of Chief Marriage Officer which i just love), Jwed.com - an upstart jdate competitor and Shoes! which is a community of 300,000 rabid female shoe lovers on facebook. (i'm getting to test out a pile of new advertising and monetization techniques and probably and know a crapload about making money on facebook now)
4) GeekPlease.com - the web's first web2.0 it support community built off of my friends amazing remote access technology. I set the strategy, came up with the name, architected the product and marketing strategy and built the team. I have an equity stake and an advisory role.
