Posted: June 17th, 2006 | Author: Howard Lindzon | Filed under: General | Comments Off

Born in Toronto, live in Phoenix with a loyal wife (11 years, 12.5 in Canadian), two awesome kids and a dachshund. Schools – University of Western Ontario, Arizona State University, American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird).

My current start-up is called Stocktwits and I am a co-founder and CEO.

I also manage a hedge fund and have done so since June of 1998. The fund has evolved into a long only fund with approximately 50 percent in equities and 50 percent in private investments.

In the Summer of 2006, I created Wallstrip and with the help of Adam Elend, Jeff Marks, Lindsay Campbell and a hard working crew we have created over 300 shows. In May 2007, Wallstrip was purchased by CBS.

I am a partner in two other funds called Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners .

I am also the founder of Social Leverage , whose mission is to invest in, syndicate, and help grow web businesses.

I am an avid entrepreneur and am focused on my great city of Phoenix. I moved here to play golf, but now rarely do. My hobbies include driving my kid’s to activities and staying awake.

I am in pursuit of the perfect sleep solution.

Endless bad ideas – trust me!
