The purpose of Gifted Savings is to allow deliberate acts of kindness at a city-wide scale. We believe that wealth inequality and poverty are driving many other problems in our society, and that those lucky enough to have excess wealth will want to be part of the solution, if they are given a simple, efficient and rewarding way to share their good fortune with their fellow Americans.

Founder and CEO

2013 - 2017

Flipagram (now TikTok) was a pioneer in short-form music video and the first to negotiate world-wide music rights with all major music labels to allow anyone, anywhere to use any music they like with their personal media. With 300M+ downloads in <3 years, Flipagram was one of the fastest growing apps of all time when it was acquired in 2017 by ByteDance who combined it with another acquisition Musical.ly to create TikTok. So, you could say that Flipagram saved the world from muzak in short social videos, and we also paved the way for popular short-video music apps like TikTok.

Flipagram (formerly Cheerful inc.), builds services that allow people to take charge and shape a better reality for themselves. The company has three main services in production: 1) Flipagram (http://flipagram.com) makes it easy to create and share beautiful short video stories comprised of your photos, set to music you love. #flipagram is personal photo music video -- the most interesting and creative use of the popular short / micro video format. 2) Cheers (http://chee.rs) dubbed the "like button" for the world around you - is a fun, social way to express love and appreciation for anyone, anything, anywhere. 3) Gripe (http://gri.pe) is a much better Better Business Bureau of the age of social, letting consumers non-anonymously share complaints (always with a desired resolution included) through their social network, ensuring quick spread and equitable resolution. 4) DotSpots: The wisdom of crowds... everywhere. This didn't work out as planned. :)
