Paul’s perspective comes from having founded, scaled, and exited multiple companies. Most notably, there was the digital music micro-licensing platform Rumblefish. At the time of the transaction, Rumblefish was issuing over 50,000 micro-licenses daily for YouTube monetization. Rumblefish was acquired by a private, equity-backed company called SESAC. Paul is still active in the business community and has founded several additional enterprises.
