About

As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve founded six companies in the past 15 years, including Displace, the first truly wireless TV, as well as Snapstick and DabKick, both media streaming startups that were acquired. I enjoy taking seemingly impossible ideas, making them a reality and upending the status quo across multiple industries. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Dabby, and playing chess or ping pong.

Company details

Displace

Company bio

Displace is an in-home entertainment startup and makers of the first truly wireless TV that has no wires, no ports and is run by hot-swappable batteries. Unlike anything else on the market, Displace's 55" 4K TVs are super lightweight, transportable and can be easily secured to any surface with no mounting required, using proprietary active-loop vacuum technology. Multiple Displace 55" 4K TVs can be combined together to create any size TV – such as combining four TVs to create a massive 110" TV with 8K resolution. Unlike other TVs, a Displace TV can be controlled primarily with hand gestures to easily browse and play content using proprietary computer vision technology that allows content to be moved seamlessly from room to room.
