My colleagues and I at Tribune Media Services think very highly of Kaivan. He has a strong knowledge of social media, a great work ethic, high energy and a very engaging personality. Kaivan took on major database-marketing projects for TMS and did great work with a minimum of oversight. He has good technical skills, business knowledge and social-media saavy.
Source: LinkedIn Jay Fehnel Feb 18, 2013Kaivan's enthusiasm, innovative spirit, and willingness to work hard were apparent the minute I met him. He assisted my team when we were working on a strategic marketing plan...providing us w/ timely and relevant research to support our efforts. If you don't know this already, let me be clear: Kaivan will have success whereever he goes, no matter what he does. I'll be keeping a close eye on his future endeavors and stand by to pitch in $ to support him & his companies, b/c one of these days he's going to hit one out of the park...and then he'll do it again...and again...and again. That's just the way he ticks. Put him on your MUST WATCH / MUST FOLLOW LISTS for Young Entrepreneurs / Future Leaders.
Source: LinkedIn Jeb Trowbridge Feb 18, 2013Kaivan assisted in QA work for my project. We truly threw him into the deep end with little training or guidance, and he exceeded our expectations. He was timely, methodical, and aware enough to ask for help when he had questions.
Source: LinkedIn Andre Alforque Feb 18, 2013Kaivan is a dedicated learner with an engaging personality. I enjoyed him as a student and look forward to his successes.
Source: LinkedIn David Koehler Feb 18, 2013Kaivan did a great job leading a team of his peers to develop a social media and technology-based strategy for our client to achieve their goals in light of their other business functions. His task and person orientations are very impressive and his team delivered excellent results for all concerned.
Source: LinkedIn Patrick J. Murphy Feb 18, 2013Kaivan Dave is a talented and dedicated marketer, and made many significant contributions to Aladdin. As an intern, Kaivan’s abilities and skills were great resources for our marketing team. He took on new tasks and demonstrated his superior intellect by quickly grasping new concepts and techniques. He is bright, energetic, and a dedicated contributor. He helped our organization in countless ways and played an important role in many projects including designing our new trade show booth. He proved himself to be highly reliable and someone we could always count on to get the job done right. I would highly recommend Mr. Dave to any organization.
Source: LinkedIn John Gunn Feb 18, 2013I worked with Kaivan in the same group and always impressed with his ability to get the job done without asking many questions. He was always resourceful and used common sense to figure out the minor details and complete the task he was assigned to. He has a nice personable character always nice to be around with. I recommend Kaivan to any marketing position.
Source: LinkedIn Sinan Tunc Feb 18, 2013Question. Why would people come to your platform & why would a high end brand advertise on your platform? The key to your success will be on quality of audience and how many people end up converting. How will you drive people into your platform? Think about some exclusive incentives to offer your visitors.

SSSteve SimonsonTechnology & CPG from making to selling... • Greater Seattle AreaOver the last 15 years we've sold over 2 Billion dollars of consumer packaged goods through our own cash register. Strategy. Systems. Scale. That's how we did it. I'm an old-school entrepreneur with experience across dozens startups, acquisitions, & many exits. (over 350M in deal valuations). My expertise shines in leveling the playing field for small businesses against industry giants through innovative marketing and strategic use of technology, demonstrating that it's indeed possible for "David" to challenge "Goliath." My professional journey has extensively covered areas such as FBA and Shopify ecommerce sales, SaaS, negotiations, and mergers & acquisitions. I've gained invaluable insights the hard way—through hands-on experience and substantial financial investment. I hope to help you skip some of the hard lessons. With a robust background in marketing, particularly online, I've overseen tens of millions in digital advertising annual spend, emphasizing the importance of systems that track return on investment to ensure growth & profitability. Furthermore, I have navigated the fundraising landscape multiple times, engaging with venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds from an entrepreneur's vantage point. This experience has equipped me to guide other entrepreneurs through the complexities of raising capital and negotiating deals, drawing from a wealth of both positive and negative outcomes. Throughout my career, I've also provided consulting services to a diverse range of companies, from agile startups to billion-dollar public entities in retail and manufacturing. I'm a staunch advocate for systemization, believing strongly that successful businesses are built on systems that ensure predictable, positive outcomes every time. This philosophy is the cornerstone of scalability and operational excellence. Let's connect and unlock the potential of your business with proven strategies and real-world wisdom.
