Matt Aimonetti’s Experience

• CTO

  GumGum, inc.

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Arts and Crafts industry)

  December 2007 — Present (6 months)

  http://gumgum.com is a licensing and distribution platform for online content. We believe paying a flat rate to license content for online use is illogical. Offline, the flat rate model works because distribution is finite. Online, thanks to Google and other search engines, a story lives forever. We have developed two usage models to fairly monetize a license: pay-per-use and ad supported. Pay-per-use allows publishers to license content on a CPM basis. Ad supported subsidizes the licensing revenue through advertisements, providing the publisher a free license.
