Achievements

Founder and CEO of Flutter.com, which merged and became Betfair. Betfair is the leading exchange betting site in the world, doing over $100B in bets per year and public on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:BET).

With Jack Herrick, bought eHow in 2004, which was comatose, and brought it to life as a great educational resource. Sold it in 2006 to focus on wikiHow, which is now the best how-to information site in the world, and second largest wiki after Wikipedia. All credit to Jack.

In my mind, Josh is THE best VC in Silicon Valley. Period. Why? He combines incredible intelligence with the operational experience from not just one massive entrepreneurial success, but two: Betfair and eHow. When you toss in his good sense of humor, uncanny knack for money making ideas, and great connections, he is incomparable.
