Helped create, co-found, design, implement, and market one of the earliest Flash-based online-video-sharing websites in the world. Basically, we invented YouTube before YouTube. Except that at the time almost no one had high-speed Internet and a lot of people didn't even have the Flash plug-in installed on their browsers -- so the world just wasn't ready for a high-bandwidth Flash-based streaming-video site. And then we ran out of money and the site folded, while the real YouTube later sold for $1.65 billion. Such is life!
