David Mullings’s Summary

I am a young entrepreneur who started my first company at 20 during my MBA program at the University of Miami (I graduated from college at 19 and took time off to work and play soccer semi-pro). Our first project was the creation of RealVibes.net, later renamed Realvibez.tv, a leading online destination for Reggae, Dancehall and Soca videos, first launched in February 2002.

We have since worked with Sean Paul, sponsored Reggae Sumfest, the largest multi-day Reggae event in the Caribbean and even worked with Telemundo's channel, Mun2.

Realvibez has major strategic partnership with major web ventures:

- the first official Caribbean media partner for YouTube at youtube.com/realvibeztv
- branded channel on Imeem.com, the 3rd largest social networking site in the USA (only Caribbean media partner)
- the only Caribbean entertainment website included in Viacom's Flux network
- the only media partner with Caribbean music channels on Bebo.com
- branded channel on Vuze, a leading p2p company based in Silicon Valley
- a content distribution deal with the #1 Reggae music television station in the Caribbean

Realvibez Media has also leveraged it's unique position to pursue merchandise deals with artists. We are presently seeking seed funding to execute our vision.

My long-term goal is to be a positive role model for young people.
