Gordon Gould’s Blog Thoughts on entrepreneurship, the Product graph, and life in SoCal

I am the founder and CEO of ThisNext and have been a serial entrepreneur for 15 years. My prior companies include Blogsmith (now part of AOL), Upoc (sold to Dada Mobile), Rising Tide/Silicon Alley Reporter (now part of Dow Jones), and Thinking Pictures (MIT Media lab spin-out).

I live in LA, am from NYC, am married to Kira Gould, and have a nearly 6 year old daughter, Kylan, and a nearly 4 year old son, Oliver. When I have some free time, I love to hang out w/my family, read, mountain bike, climb, surf, do yoga, and generally explore life. Traveling and eating are great too.

My goal in life is to keep my head out of my ass, embrace opportunities, and give as good as I get.
