    Rover (http://www.roverapp.com) is a personalized content recommendation technology company that I co-founded. Rover helps people discover content they love, that they never knew existed from a wide variety of over 15,000 topics. The recommendation engine uses machine learning to learn a user's fine grained interests through content a user engages with while being respectful of a user's need for privacy. Rover also connects you to other people who are influential in topics you care about and helps you discover other people with similar interests. Rover was acquired in Feb 2017 by Revcontent which is one of the largest and fastest growing content recommendation networks in the world. Some nice press coverage about the acquisition.TechCrunch - https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/23/revcontent-acquires-rover/ Rover was featured by Apple on the iOS App Store and is #1 in the News Category (Best New Apps) for the iPhone.

  • Flipora
    Founder & Cto
    Flipora 2012 - 2014
    Flipora is a machine learning based web app that recommends content tailored specifically to your interests. Flipora grew to about 40 million registered users. We rebranded Flipora to Rover when we launched our mobile apps in 2015. Flipora was named by Forbes in their Top 5 Apps for Content Discovery alongside FlipBoard, Prismatic, Nuzzel & Pinterest (source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnrampton/2015/01/27/five-new-apps-challenging-facebook-and-twitter-for-content-discovery/)
  • Infoaxe
    Founder & Co-Ceo
    Infoaxe 2008 - 2011
    Infoaxe was a Web History Search Engine that lets you automatically get back to content browsed in the past without the hassle of bookmarking. We raised seed funding of $3.9 Million from multiple prominent Angels and Silicon valley VCs who backed companies like Skype, Baidu, Hotmail, Tesla, SpaceX, Twilio, Twitter etc. Infoaxe reached 7 Million users on the Web with it's browser addons for Firefox, IE & Chrome. http://techcrunch.com/2008/11/17/infoaxe-records-your-browsing-sessions-lets-you-search-your-web-history/ We also launched a real-time search engine in 2009/2010, which exploited anonymized aggregate web browsing history data of all our web history browser add-on users to quickly identify fresh and popular content that more traditional authority signals like PageRank were then slow to identify and promote. Ours was one of the earliest search products in the industry that exploited content freshness and current content popularity for search engine ranking. In side-by-side demos alongside Google/Yahoo/Bing at that time, our search ranking did better on search queries where freshness of results was paramount. We rebranded the company from Infoaxe to Flipora, when we decided to take our personalization technology for search to the content discovery market instead, since the latter was a much more wide open market then and still remains comparatively unsolved today.
