{{distinguish|text=the 19th-century business magnate Jay Gould}}{{Use mdy dates|date=December 2018}}Jay Gould (born April 1, 1979)[1] is an American tech entrepreneur and the founder & CEO of Yashi.[2] Gould is also an active angel investor, and has backed web-based startups including DogVacay,[3] Tout, Buffer, and Fitocracy.[4]

Education

Gould graduated from Rowan University in 2001, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Law & Justice.[5]{{Better source|date=December 2018}}

Career

In December 2005, Gould sold his first business to Bolt Media for an undisclosed amount and joined Bolt as its President.[6] At the time of the sale, Gould's websites had 3.3 million U.S. unique visitors, according to comScore Media Metrics.[1]

While under Gould's management, Bolt's revenue grew to $7 million annually, 5.3 million U.S. visitors to their website monthly,[7]{{Failed verification|date=December 2018}} culminating in signing a definitive agreement to sell the company for up to $30 million.[8][9][10] Just prior to signing the $30 million definitive agreement, Universal Music Group filed a lawsuit against Bolt, MySpace and others for alleged copyright infringement.[11] Bolt was ultimately unable to reach a settlement with Universal Music, which resulted in the termination of Bolt's $30 million acquisition, eventually leading Bolt to file an assignment for the benefit of creditors.[12][13]

During Gould's tenure at Bolt, he co-founded WikiYou, which raised $500,000 from investors, including Mayfield Fund, First Round Capital, and Reid Hoffman.[14]

Gould later founded GamersMedia, the first vertical-advertising network to bring brand advertisers to casual-gaming websites, which at its launch had over 20 million unique visitors across 40 sites.[15][16][17] GamersMedia was later rebranded as Yashi.[18] On February 2, 2015, Yashi was acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group for $33 million.[19]

Gould was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award finalist in 2014,[20] and won a Stevie Award for Executive of the Year.[21]

Yashi

Jay Gould and Caitlin Gould founded Yashi in 2007.[22] Yashi became a location-focused advertising platform that targeted mobile and web video advertising.[24]

The company was named to Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America for four consecutive years from 2012–2015.[23][24]

Yashi was acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group on February 2, 2015, for $33 million.[25]

Foundville

In October 2011, Gould launched foundville.com, a video podcast site featuring interviews with successful Internet entrepreneurs. Gould has interviewed founders of companies such as HotOrNot,[26] RockYou,[27] Adify,[28] Mochi Media,[29] CapLinked,[30] The Receivables Exchange,[31] Wikia,[32] SitePoint,[33] and others.

Investments

Gould is an angel investor, with sizable contributions to companies such as Buffer,[34] CapLinked, Tout, iDoneThis, Fitocracy, and Cadee, among others.[35] In March 2012, Gould was part of a $1 million funding initiative for DogVacay, an online marketplace for residential dog boarding.[35]

In addition to startup capital, Gould also contributes his knowledge and expertise to entrepreneurs. He is a member of the Rowan University Entrepreneurship Program Advisor Council (ENTAC).

Awards and recognition

  • On September 20, 2010, Gould was honored as a recipient of the NJBIZ Forty under 40 Award. The award recognizes up-and-coming businesspersons based in the New Jersey-New York area.[36]
  • In 2014, Gould was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award finalist in New Jersey.[20]
  • In 2014, Gould was named as a Silver Stevie Winner for Executive of the Year in the American Business Awards. His company, Yashi, was also named a Bronze Stevie Winner for Company of the Year.[21]
