About

Chris has been on the forefront of emerging technologies since the commercialization of the web and was the founder Kicklabs, the first technology accelerator based in San Francisco. Chris co founded AdAuction, the first online media exchange in 1997 which was the precursor to the current auction based and dynamic pricing platforms in online media. Chris was instrumental in restructuring the businesses for Get Relevant (acquired by Lycos) and Aptimus (acquired by Apollo LLC). Chris developed the first online automated coupon platform, launched the first RSS ad campaigns, and helped develop the first peer to peer ad delivery system. As a result, he received Ad Age’s prestigious i20 award for his accomplishments in the development of interactive media and advertising. Chris has been a successful adviser and investor for the last two decades in Silicon Valley with investments in Snap, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Domo, Compound, Wish, Boom, Regent, DialPad, The Hustle and more.
