I was hired to restart an early stage business that did not have a successful business model. After joining Mpire, WidgetBucks' parent company, as CEO in early 2006, we have turned the business into one of the fastest growing ad networks in the work. We serve over 1.5 billion impression per month after only a year since our launch. We have raised over $17 million dollars in financing from Ignition Partners and Draper Fisher Jurveston.
