About Tedy
I am a proud USC Trojan with extensive expertise in programmatic marketing and media trading. Throughout my career, I have strategized and executed high-value media buys for Fortune 1000, 500, and 100 companies, managing multimillion-dollar budgets and delivering 9-figure ROAS.
Companies Founded - ALL "one man businesses"
2010-2011: Plan B Media – Raised $20K to launch YourSpot.com, a nightlife discovery platform similar to Yelp. Despite early traction, the venture was unsuccessful.
2013-2015: STEALTH STARTUP – Bootstrapped managed media advertising platform, generating $500K in revenue before contracts expired and the business was phased out.
2015-2024: Rocket One – Founded and scaled a managed programmatic buying platform to $15M in revenue. Exited after contracts expired.
2021-Present: KICKFLP – Developing a Netflix-style platform for action sports where athletes connect their social accounts, get their videos streamed on TVs and phones everywhere, earn ad revenue share, and get discovered by brands and sponsors. Self-funded, pre-revenue.
My journey reflects a deep passion for innovation, entrepreneurship, and leveraging off the-shelf technology to drive growth and make peoples life easier.
