SubscribeI am the Founder & CEO of CoachUp.com, the nation's leading private coaching company. We help athletes achieve their full potential by connecting them with great private coaches, and we back it up with a 100% money-back guarantee. I am also Founder & General Manager of Bridge Boys LLC, an early-stage seed investment fund in Boston. I took a non-traditional path to the tech startup world. I studied government and philosophy at Bowdoin College, played professional basketball in Israel and Europe, and went on to earn an M.B.A. After business school, I worked in business development at Zintro, a VC-backed Internet Startup, before launching CoachUp. Over the past 5 years, I've also been active in coaching youth basketball, an experience that led me to the idea for CoachUp. I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hold dual U.S. and Israeli citizensip, and am father to a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
