Before Kevin Systrom and Mark Zuckerberg, there was Todd Krizelman, one of the youngest Internet sensations of the first dot com boom. In 1995, as a 20 year old student at Cornell, he cofounded a social media company called TheGlobe.com, based in New York City. TheGlobe.com allowed users to engage with one another through chat and games, while also being able to publish their own web pages. On its first day going public, shares flew from $9 to $97! But, in 2 years, the stock would only be worth $2.

Susan Adams, Forbes, sat down with Todd to explore his past and how he looked towards the future to what is now MediaRadar. This fantastic profile piece is a great read about Todd, how he overcame obstacles, the origination of MediaRadar and our current success. For everything in between, take a look at the full article found here.
