  • Redpint
    Founder & Chief Marketing Officer
    Redpint Aug 2009 - Jun 2011
    RedPint was a labor of love. In 2009, I started this company with the goal to make it easier to find great craft beer wherever you go and, at the same time, connect with other beer fans. (I was new to Boston and wanted an easy, mobile way to find tasty craft beer -- in liquor stores or at bars.)I vetted the concept of RedPint by creating Boston's very first craft beer meetup, which has grown to nearly 450 members in just over two years. With the release of our iPhone app in 2010, we become one of the first companies to create a native app that let you check in to what you're drinking, whom you're drinking with, and where you were drinking -- while being able to rate the beers, share photos, and keep a log of the beers you drank.With the help of Eric Torres, design professional, I crafted the brand of RedPint and led the creative direction of all the virtual medals. I worked with breweries on outreach programs so we could better understand market needs. I managed the growing RedPint community on Facebook and Twitter, and attended various events, including Tech Stars for a Day, to raise awareness of what we were trying to achieve with RedPint. In June 2011, RedPint was acquired by Untappd.
