Built a niche ratings and reviews site that grew to 10M visitors a year before I sold it.

I’m mainly proud of the fact that we kept strict separation between revenue ops and content moderation despite a lot of pressure from billion dollar companies to delete reviews they didn’t like. We left lots of money on the table, but fuck those companies.

15 years on, reviews are woven into most websites in the industry and they’re all pretty biased and controlled by the companies we resisted before selling.

This is impressive and hugely respectable at the same time. I'm working on a ratings site using zero-knowledge cryptography, would you mind if I reach out?
