Greg's blog
With a technology background and over twenty-five years of sales, marketing and general management experience, Greg thinks of himself as a “serial and social entrepreneur.” Proof point: he’s spent the last 10+ years of his career creating companies.
At Virtual Ink, where he was the CEO from inception, he led a student team from MIT and created a company that raised over $57 million in venture capital funding, established a brand new product category—portable electronic whiteboards—sold over 100,000 units, and reached over $10 million per year in sales. Recently, Virtual Ink was sold to Sanford Brands, a division of Newell-Rubbermaid. In 2002, Greg founded cMarket, his first ‘social’ venture. cMarket has changed the $18 billion per year nonprofit auction market by delivering a web-based tool that enables nonprofit organizations to better manage and market their charity auctions to their constituencies. Today, cMarket is used by thousands of nonprofits to raise more money with their charity auctions.
After meeting with hundreds of charitable organizations, while at cMarket, Greg became intrigued with another challenge facing the nonprofit community: finding a more efficient and effective way to bring people and causes together. Developing a solution to this challenge became the inspiration that led him to found good2gether in 2007.
Greg impresses us daily with his voracious appetite for 3 things: books, recent episodes of The Hills, and diet Pepsi. We also hear he’s a pretty good cook.
