Founder
Caster Ventures, Inc.
Caster Ventures is an angel funded, internet start-up in Columbus, Ohio. Caster develops websites that enable companies of all sizes to use online streaming video as an everyday business tool. As Founder/CEO, I'm responsible for fundraising, hiring, leadership, and financial management. I raised $400,000 from the Ohio Tech Angels and Bowling Green State University. This enabled our company to create several websites for online streaming video, including Complycaster.com, Schoolcaster.tv, and Conferencecaster.tv. In 2010, we combined the websites into www.TrainMyTribe.com for one consistent marketing and product approach.Key Achievements:- Led development of branded online streaming video store website- Lead team of developers and designers in producing streaming video based e-commerce website in Ruby on Rails- Managed all aspects of SEO and paid search marketing- Raised $400,000in angel funding from the Ohio TechAngels Key Technologies, Programs, and Websites:- SEO: Google Analytics, Compete.com, SEOmoz.org- CRM: ConstantContact.com, Salesforce.com, Zoho, Spoke.com- Social Networking: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Kickapps.com, TweetAdder, HootSuite- Website Hosting: Edgecast, Rackspace, Hostingrails.com- E-Commerce: Paypal Website Payments Pro, Virtual Terminal, Express Checkout, Risk Controls- Development Languages: ASP.net, MySQL, JavaScript, Flash, Ruby on Rails
