About josh
Josh Levine is a serial entrepreneur, technology executive and investor-focused operator with more than 20 years of experience building, scaling, transforming and successfully exiting technology businesses. Over his career, he has served in CEO, COO, CRO and senior sales and operating roles, combining entrepreneurial vision with hands-on experience in revenue growth, capital formation, go-to-market strategy, operations, M&A and business transformation.
Josh has been involved in multiple successful exits and has built and led businesses from early-stage growth through acquisition. Most recently, as COO of a diversified technology company with a social media business, he helped raise $16 million in growth capital, restructured the social platform to achieve cash-flow breakeven, increased revenue by 55%, and worked with the CEO through the successful sale of the business. Earlier in his career, he built and scaled technology companies and revenue organizations, including managing more than $65 million in recurring annual revenue, building a $100+ million qualified sales pipeline, and helping commercialize technology that was ultimately acquired by Intel.
Today, Josh is Founder and Chairman & CEO of Intent Media Group, where he is applying that experience to building the next generation of category-specific social and community platforms. IMG's first platform, GunClub.Social, is designed to provide the firearms, shooting sports, hunting and outdoor community with a dedicated digital home connecting consumers, creators, organizations, media and industry brands.
Rather than attempting to build an audience from scratch, IMG's strategy is to bring established communities, creators, media partners and brands onto purpose-built platforms where engagement, advertising, commerce and community can exist within the same ecosystem. GunClub.Social serves as the first proof point for a broader, repeatable vertical-platform strategy.
Josh's combination of entrepreneurial exits, social-media operating experience, capital formation, revenue growth and company-building provides IMG with experienced leadership focused not simply on launching a platform, but on building a scalable and monetizable business.
