We talk his Social Entertainment app where advertisers & consumers connect through relevant video advertising, polls, calls to action & rewards for loyalty. Jinglz is THE destination where you watch short mobile video ads in their entirety & are entered into hourly jackpot style drawings for cash prizes. You WILL win COIN (our version of points) in every hourly drawing but the COIN amount will vary from game to game based on your RANK (position) which is chosen randomly using an automated algorithm selecting 1st place to last place positions. http://www.jinglz.info https://twitter.com/playjinglz https://www.facebook.com/PlayJinglz/?ref=br_rs
We talk about his electric bike startup. Propella's mission is to bridge the gap between regular bikes and electric bikes (eBikes). We strive for simplicity, and our minimalist design allows us to achieve our goal by eliminating unnecessary features and focusing on essential elements. Adding enormous battery capacity and power to an eBike can discourage riders from pedaling, reduce safety, and add excessive weight and cost. The right amount of power, however, can transform a bicycle into a lightweight, safe, and reliable electric vehicle. http://www.propellabikes.com https://www.facebook.com/propellabikes https://twitter.com/propellabikes

Change Creator™, the premium digital magazine for entrepreneurs who are willing to challenge the status-quo and use business for meaningful change. Young people are changing how they see their careers. Fewer and fewer wish to climb the corporate ladder or take the conventional jobs of those who came before them. More and more want to flex their entrepreneurial muscles, start an enterprise, venture out on their own, and take risks. A recent study by Bentley University found that today, only 13% of survey respondents said that their career goal involves progressing within a corporation to CEO or president. The same study, by contrast, found that almost two-thirds (67%) of respondents said that their goal involves starting their own business. But most of all, today’s young people want to have an impact on their world. A 2014 Nielson study found that 67% of respondents prefer to work for socially responsible companies, 55% will pay extra for products and services from companies committed to positive social and environmental impact, and 52% made at least one purchase in the past six months from one or more socially responsible companies. In other words, our youth care about the world around them and want to be able to do something meaningful for their career. This trend is exciting. There’s no doubt about it. But it’s also an opportunity that can be missed if there isn’t a supportive environment that nurtures our youth and allows them to bring their ideas to life. This is why we founded Change Creator. Social entrepreneurialism draws on traditional business practices and cutting-edge innovation to create solutions to pressing problems affecting society, the environment and economies. As millennials increasingly transcend from school to the workplace, they carry with them a desire to develop wealth, find entrepreneurial ways to solve problems and give back to society. According to the Telefonica Global Millennial Survey over 68% of the millennial surveyed (globally) believe they have the opportunity to become an entrepreneur, while many believe the most pressing problems are the economy, social inequality, access to education, eliminating poverty, creating sustainable energy and providing affordable housing. Today the social entrepreneur is digitally savvy, has learned to work collaboratively in distributed environments and at ease communicating with others on a global basis. Change Creator addresses the need for social entrepreneurs to learn the skills required to be a successful social entrepreneur. “Social entrepreneurship will play an instrumental role in making the world a healthier and more equitable place,” says Adam Force, Publisher ,and Editor of Change Creator. “We need more people who have the courage to push boundaries and challenge the status-quo. An enormous number of people are now trying to figure out how to make the world a better place through the way they live their lives and make a living. We are excited to offer them the tools and insights they need to succeed.” http://changecreatormag.com https://www.facebook.com/changecreator https://twitter.com/Change_Creator

We talk about his Free Online Geek Dating app. Somewhere in Lower Manhattan, a diabolical organization seeks to get geeks dates. It's top secret codename: Dragonfruit. No, not through mad science, secret weapons or brainwashing devices. Our brilliant billionaire scientist-industrialist founder (Okay, he’s not actually Lex Luthor) had this radical idea that there should be a dating app where geekiness of any forms is awesome. Dragonfruit will offer you an experience where you can be upfront about your geekdom, instead of ashamed about it. Geeks know that they’re awesome. They make their passions a part of them and their lives, of course. But often, many geeks feel the need to put on a secret identity to impress their matches. We believe you shouldn’t have to disguise yourself as Clark Kent. Be yourself. Be Superman. We aren’t a team of evil villains trying to brainwash geeks to do our bidding: we’re honestly just geeks hoping to help other geeks. We’re the folks who you lane within Dota 2, talk while in the line to Hall H, attend cosplay meet-ups, and more. We understand geeks well, and most importantly- we know geeks love to be together with geeks. http://www.dragonfruitapp.com https://twitter.com/projdragonfruit
We talk about his framing startup, how they bring technology to the farming industry & let farmers sell their crops all over the world. Last year the United Nations reported the current world population of 7.2 billion is projected to increase by 1 billion by 2025 and reach 9.6 billion by 2050. Hunger is already a global crisis, so how will we feed billions more people in the years to come? The technological advancements in most areas of agriculture over the past decade are astounding with the exception of how farmers market their crops. For many operations the process hasn’t changed in the last 50 years. In order to maximize efficiency when buying and selling grain, we must continue to move forward with technology. Grainster.com is the first trading platform of it’s kind in the industry. To put it simply, Grainster is an online marketplace to connect buyers and sellers of grain. By allowing buyers and sellers to contract directly they are essentially cutting out the middleman and subsequently providing both parties flexibility and cost savings. Grain producing countries around the globe will have access to international listings, which equates to lower marketing costs and easy expansion into new markets. This is especially beneficial for developing countries that may lack infrastructure for importing and exporting. http://grainster.market
We talk what is the Fairshare Model, a performance-based capital structure for companies that seek venture capital via a public offering. From 1996 to early 2001, I was CEO and co-founder of a company, Fairshare, that was a front-runner for the modern concept of crowdfunding. That experience, together with what I’ve learned as a consultant, provides the foundation for the book I’m working on, The Fairshare Model. Prior to moving to the San Francisco Bay area in 1983, I lived and worked in for established manufacturing companies in St. Louis, Chicago and the Detroit area, where I grew up. I have a BA degree in Business/Pre-law as well as a MBA degree in finance from Michigan State University. I am also registered as a Certified Public Accountant in Illinois. http://fairsharemodel.com https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-fairshare-model
