Founding leadership team
Andrew Hoag, Founder and CEO
Andrew founded Black Drumm, the creator of inviteme.to, in 2008 as a company to explore the ever expanding overlap between our offline social world, our online behavior and how both marketers and consumers could jointly benefit from that overlap. Andrew provides the overall strategic direction and works closely with Black Drumm’s product team and customers to drive inviteme.to’s high ROI and strategic value.
Prior to Black Drumm, Andrew was founding CTO and COO at two start-ups, and has been an angel investor and advisor to several others. Andrew also runs the “Founder’s Nest”, a peer group of CEOs and founders in San Francisco that was featured on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer in 2009.
Elisha Cook, Chief Architect
Elisha is a software developer with experience on a wide variety of platforms. He has over 4 years of professional experience leading development in startups and small companies with a social media focus, and 10 years of programming experience.
Prior to inviteme.to, Elisha was lead developer of TripUp, a travel-oriented social network that was acquired by SideStep.
We believe that living is fundamentally a social experience, and technology is an enabler, not a replacement, for that experience.
We believe the social web is here to stay, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.
We believe our real-world relationships can be transformed through better communication.
We work tirelessly every day to make people's lives easier, social and more fun.
