Josh Kopelman

“Josh was more than the lead investor and Board Member for my company InBoxer. Josh was a true partner and an inspiration for myself and the entire team. He had the ability to help you to see the opportunities and to help you to lead. He was more than the source of money -- he willingly provided knowledge, wisdom and experience to help us to succeed. Working with Josh was one of the best parts of running my company and I would eagerly work with him again.”

“I met Josh, when he was interviewing me to come work for him at Half.com. His energy and passion convinced me and my tenure at the company was an amazing experience, in no small part due to Josh. He inspired everyone with his competence, enthusiasm, and clarity of vision. Although a startup is a risky business, we followed him, because we felt we could trust him. His door and his mind was always open.”

“I've always known Josh to be very giving of his time, connections, opinions, and ideas. He is an entrepreneur's friend in every sense of the word, and it is with great pleasure that I recommend him highly.”

“Josh is one of those rare individuals who has a keen sense of where business is headed, how to develop a workable strategic plan, and putting go-to-market programs into action using creative methodologies. Having worked with Josh for more than a year, I appreciated his insights, inspriation and energy.”

“Great Boss! Great Listener! No idea was ever to off the wall! No person or thing was ever beneath him. Treated everyone from his top VP's to summer interns with the same amount of respect. Overall a very genuine person.”

“Josh is the consummate early stage investor, and exactly the kind of person you'd want in your company. As both an investor in FRC and a colleague of Josh's at New York Angels, I have found him to be an ideal partner and investor, with integrity, judgement, operational skills and a command of financials. He also happens to be the funniest person I know, and is a delight to work with.”

“Josh is the kind of investor you want to have on your board. It was amazing watching Turntide bloom from seed to exit in a few short months when I was at VIMAC and a pleasure to work with him at FRC on several Demo deals. With his experience and success as an entrepreneur, Josh truly brings much more than capital to the table. Working with Josh inspires you to work harder!”

“I have had the priviledge of working for Josh off and on for nearly 10 years. He is an inspirational leader who understands business better than just about anyone on the planet. The employees at his companies are fiercely loyal to him, and for good reason. Success for Josh is hard-earned and well-deserved, and will surely continue in the future.”

“Josh has the energy and intelligence that creates real value in new and existing ventures. Neither Infonautics nor half.com would have succeeded without his vision, drive and easy to work with personality. He is always a pleasure to work with, and creates both goodwill and profits.”

“Josh Kopelman built Half.com from scratch. With an untested but simple, elegant Internet business model, Josh managed the company from concept to a multi-million dollar acquisition, and then profitability. Entrepreneurial savvy, skillful negotiation, and extraordinary personal integrity made Josh successful in what has become a case study in new venture development and growth.”
