Greg Vincent

Startup veteran with 30 years of experience in web-based software development. I built my first commercial website in 1994, joined my first startup (LifeMinders.com) in 2000, and have since built multiple highly successful consumer websites for companies like YouCaring (acquired by GoFundMe), Sony Playstation, OpenTable, and Zecco.com. I love building and scaling applications with massive social impact.
