Bob Moore — Serial Entrepreneur and CEO of Crossbeam
Bob Moore is a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience, who started his first business venture when he was at Princeton. In the early 2000s, as online poker was becoming popular, Bob jumped on an observation he made to create the Mooraculator to computerize what his peers were calculating in their heads to level the playing field for others who wanted to make money playing poker. After graduation, he joined Insight Venture Partners as an analyst and learned the importance of data when doing due diligence. Eventually, he left to start RJ Metrics with his friend and colleague, Jake Stein. RJ Metrics focused on providing software that helps online businesses make smarter decisions using data, particularly in the e-commerce space. That venture quickly scaled and attracted $23 mil in venture capital, and was later sold to Magento. From RJ Metrics, Bob spun out to launch Stitch, a simple, powerful ETL (extract, transform and load) service built for developers which he then also sold. In 2018, Bob started his current commercial business — Crossbeam, with a focus on data. It acts as an escrow service for data, allowing companies to find overlapping customers and prospects for their partners while keeping the rest of the data private and secure. Bob recently took Crossbeam through $10mil venture round and has a lot of insight to share about his business journey thus far. Tune in to find out more.
