Founder & CEO

Paltalk, Inc.

CO-FOUNDER of SNAP INTERACTIVE (now PalTalk) - one of the first publicly traded company in the online dating & social media space.  SNAP's leading online dating apps and social apps experienced extraordinary growth - attracting more than 100 million users. Ranked as the 36th fastest growing company in North America on Deloitte's 2012 Technology Fast 500 for achieving 4,400% revenue growth over 5 years.

As Co-Founder and one of only two members of Senior Management from 2005 through late 2011, I was primarily responsible for all legal, financial, administrative, human resource, hiring, anti-fraud, and public company regulatory and operational functions as we scaled the company. I was also responsible for writing all company press releases since inception. 

We grew SNAP to nearly 50 employees and approximately $20 million in annual revenue. We hit a peak market cap of ~ $150 million and raised $8.5 million in capital from institutional investors in January 2011.  Prior to that, we succeeded while raising under $ 1 mm in total capital (with no new capital since 2007) - growing entirely on revenue generated from operations for 3+ years.

We built Syndicate 11 quietly. 
Now PEOPLE are noticing. 

Syndicate11 wasn’t designed to be loud. 

It was built as a tight, high-signal network of top creators, models, and cultural catalysts who actually move attention - not just post into it.

And when you do that well enough, visibility finds you anyway.

This People feature is a great example: no PR push, zero agenda, just a powerful moment that got noticed.

That’s the power of momentum compounding.
