Since 2016, Wilbur Labs has built and invested in 21 tech companies including VacationRenter, Vitabox, Joblist, Barkbus, OpenMedicare, Cincy Brands, and others.I also share my learnings and answer common founder questions on the Wilbur Labs Founder FAQ series and through Blueprints and articles.Previously, I was a Growth Strategist at Google, and before that, I founded FreeForums.org, a platform allowing anyone to create a message board for free. FreeForums.org became one of the top online destinations in 2007, receiving over 125 million monthly pageviews, and was acquired by a public company in 2010.I’m a Private Pilot and hold a Guinness World Record for competitive eating.
