I love startups. I cofounded IssueDictionary.com out of college, which tackled information discovery - and built a community around - elections. We sold that to FreeCause.com in 2008 and basically ran their engineering team. We sold FreeCause to Rakuten USA in late 2009. I moved to SF and became a tech lead at Lolapps.com, now the 2nd largest social gaming company. I'm currently advising startups in the valley on product/virality/retention, and engineering for the same at Minted.com
