Gary inspires us to think more clearly and carefully. His time as CEO of oDesk (now UpWork) helps us think about the future of the new way of work.

Gary has built a marketplace, he has raised children, and now he is doing both with me. His friendship and knowledge has kept us moving forward.

As the former CEO of Odesk and a prominent investor and advisor, Gary has no shortage of people asking for his time, but he's always generous with providing it. Even though he knew almost nothing about... more me when we first met, he's been an amazingly helpful resource as I've started my own fledgling investing career.
He's a real roll-up-the-sleeves kind of investor, and I never think twice about introducing him to any founders I meet.
