I didn't know that Michael had failed start-ups before TC. What were they?

Check out his LinkedIn profile for details about his work experience:

Aside, from First Data Corp., he doesn't list which companies he founded. I would assume that he was the co-founder in those that he held a C-Level position: RazorGator and Pool.com.

He has an interesting background. For example, I don't think a lot of people know he has a Stanford Law degree.

He was involved with Edgeio during TC which was "an effort to build a fully distributed advertising platform for the Internet." I know it went through an identity crisis and even spent a bizarre period in the digital download space before an asset sale in 2008.
