E49: THIS WEEK'S GUEST - JONAH MIDANIK

In this episode, Jonah discusses:

  • The value of putting an entrepreneurial win on the board
  • Deciding to step down from the CEO role to prepare his company for its next stage of growth
  • Advice for fellow founders thinking about fundraising and the M&A process

GUEST BIO:
Jonah has been fortunate to see the startup journey from many different perspectives. First, as a successful bootstrapped founder of Casino Media Group, an advertising agency focused on the online gaming sector (becoming the agency of record for PokerStars and Bet365).

After selling to Immersion Media in 2008, Jonah used his advertising, gaming and technical talents to help the UFC develop the first legal online betting platform in the United States (ultimately powering the first legal hand of online poker live in the U.S.).

Jonah then went on to found Limelight, a venture backed company focused on live events. After finding significant success, Jonah stepped away from the CEO role to sit on the board of Limelight and spend his time helping companies grow at a different kind of venture capital firm called Forum Ventures.
