About
Rasch founded webhosting.com and InQuent Technologies. InQuent provided hosting solutions to telecommunications customers including AT&T, Comcast, Cox Communications, and Bell Canada. Webhosting.com was one of the largest hosting companies in the world. Rasch sold the companies to AT&T. He later orchestrated a management team acquisition of InQuent from AT&T and successfully sold InQuent once more. Rasch is a past recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He is also the founding investor of VerticalScope (TSX:FORA), which develops and acquires commerce and social communities visited by over 100 million people per month. Through his family foundation, he established NutritionFacts.org, the preeminent resource for consumers and physicians to learn about plant-based nutrition. It is one of the largest non-profit healthcare sites on the Internet.
