We led a $7m financing in the leader in digital dog boarding that connects dog owners with approved, reviewed, and insured sitters. Seth and I worked together on ServiceMagic in the 1999 – 2004 time frame (IAC acquired it in 2004 for $180m) so we had a deep understanding of how a heavily metric-based buy/sell marketplace worked.
This is going to be BIG.

Being a New York Times Best-Selling Author, I shared a frustration felt by many authors who spend years writing a great book.

2004 gave us widespread blogging and Meetups, and 2008 showed how the web could be a community organizing and fundraising tool. (PS.there are various companies in this article I have or have had business involvements with. Reader beware.). Open Government. Election years tend to be good for technology diffusion.
