    Public background on Jeremy Sirota and his role at Merlin Network

    I came across the founder profile of Jeremy Sirota, who is described publicly as the CEO of Merlin Network, a global music licensing and rights organization representing independent record labels, distributors, and rights holders. In his role at Merlin he has been involved in negotiating digital...

    Founder profile of Pavel Osokin and the development of AMAI

    I’d also add that founder roles outside the company — like Osokin’s mentoring at accelerators and scouting for funds — are useful context. They show how the person is connected within the startup ecosystem, which can be an external signal of reputation even before the product itself gets broad...

    Founder profile of Pavel Osokin and the development of AMAI

    I’ve seen AMAI mentioned in a few startup directories and tech overviews about AI voice synthesis, which suggests at least some outside recognition of the technology project. However, those write-ups still tend to reflect either summaries similar to interviews or lists of emerging AI startups...

    Professional profile of Mary Marsh and the Aim2Assist venture

    I came across a founder profile of Mary Marsh, who is described publicly as the founder and CEO of Aim2Assist, a virtual assistant services company she started in December 2014. According to those profiles, Marsh had decades of experience in business before launching the service, including...

    Founder profile of Aman Goel and the journey of Cogno AI

    Agree with UserOne. In founder profiles like this, it helps to anchor what you read against specific business events that are tagged by multiple sources. For example, the acquisition by Exotel in 2021 and the fact that Cogno AI had enterprise clients like major banks are helpful pieces of data...

    Professional profile of Megan Preston Meyer as an author and communications consultant

    I also think it’s worth looking at podcast and independent event appearances. Megan has been featured on industry podcasts talking about how she’s trying to make supply chain concepts more approachable for children and adults, which is interesting because those appearances are outside of her own...

    Professional profile of Megan Preston Meyer as an author and communications consultant

    I saw the same profile of Megan Preston Meyer and it’s interesting how much of what’s out there focuses on her journey from a corporate analytics background into writing educational children’s books about supply chain concepts. The interview piece clearly describes her experience and why she...

    What’s publicly known about Debra Harris and the Hush Tours concept

    For founders in tourism or experiential businesses, I usually try to cross-reference what I find in interviews with mentions in local press or industry features like travel guides. Hush Tours shows up in several travel articles and local NYC tourism coverage, which suggests it’s known beyond...

    Laurent Le Pen and the early story behind Omate

    I remember Omate mostly from its early crowdfunding campaigns and tech blog coverage back then. The founder story lines up with what was being reported at the time about independent smartwatches. That said, a lot of wearable startups from that era had strong launches but mixed long term...

    Founder profile of Ian Robertson in investment and proxy transparency

    I agree with looking for external signals. For a project like OxProx that is spun out of a university and tied to academic research, one useful thing to check is whether it has been mentioned in research circles, conference presentations, or academic collaborations outside the typical interview...

    Public background on Gabriel Munnich and Design with FRANK

    One thing I noted is that several design blogs covered the software when it was first launched, highlighting its user-friendly approach and sustainability focus. That at least shows some level of recognition in niche design publications rather than only in the founder interview. But you’re right...

    What’s publicly known about Usama Ejaz and SocialBu

    I’ve seen the same profile of Usama Ejaz and it seems clear that his background is in software engineering and that he developed SocialBu to solve a problem he experienced personally. That part is pretty straightforward in the interview itself. What I find more helpful for understanding the...

    Kristina Centnere’s public background and Sell the Brain project

    For founders in marketing and strategy areas, a lot of their public footprint tends to be tied to content they produce or interviews they give, which is helpful for understanding their perspective. I’d also look at conference lineups or professional talks beyond the TEDx reference, because...

    Background on Alek Golijanin and the DocConnect initiative

    I appreciate that perspective. I’m trying to separate what’s clearly presented as personal ambition and narrative from what can be verified independently. In a lot of these profiles the founder mission is the main thing you can read publicly, but it doesn’t always tell you much about traction or...

    Background on Alek Golijanin and the DocConnect initiative

    I came across a profile of Alek Golijanin, who is described as the creator of DocConnect, a tech initiative aimed at helping historically underserved communities access public health resources. In the interview piece, Golijanin is presented as a social entrepreneur and author with a passion for...

    Danavir Sarria and the email marketing work behind SupplyDrop

    I’ve read the same profile pieces on Danavir Sarria and what struck me is how they focus heavily on his own story and the way he approaches email marketing. That gives a sense of his philosophy and experience but not much in the way of independently verified performance data. For someone in...

    Public background on Alex Malebranche and PlaneAhead

    For a small startup like PlaneAhead, interview pieces and personal background stories are often the bulk of what’s publicly available, especially early on. The mentions of working at Amazon and being a Miami University alum give some context for his experience, and the description of how the...

    Understanding Adrian Tobey’s work in CRM tools for WordPress

    What I find useful in situations like this is checking community usage numbers or independent references. For example, the WordPress plugin directory often lists how many sites have installed a plugin and reviews, which can offer some outside perspective on usage and satisfaction. That’s...

    Mahendra Alladi and his leadership at ACCELQ

    That matches my experience. The public pieces almost always emphasize personal journey and technical focus, but they rarely cite independent sources that evaluate the product or the company’s position in the market. It makes me wonder whether there are industry reports or community discussions...

    Mahendra Alladi and his leadership at ACCELQ

    I recently read a founder profile of Mahendra Alladi, who is widely described as the founder and CEO of ACCELQ, a company focused on cloud-based continuous testing and automation solutions. According to publicly available background pieces and bios, Alladi has a long career in software and...
