Dow Jones Description

We're a media company based not on the number of people we reach, but on how much interest we generate. What we do is simple: We create opportunities for brands to connect with consumers where they are spending their time and attention online. Some people call this advertising. We call it Attention-Based Media, because we do more than sell advertising, we drive brand engagement. We enable brands to become part of the digital content with which they appear. We have discovered that this actually enables brands to become part of their audience's experience online and ensures that these consumers willingly participate and interact with the brands in ways that are unprecedented until now. And we do it while reaching a mass audience that enables large brands to get their message out and drive consumer purchase intent. In fact, no other company reaches as many consumers with such attention grabbing advertising as we do. At Betawave, we think about driving consumer engagement to mass audiences over our morning cups of coffee, in casual conversation, on weekends pretty much all the time. This might seem unusual, but like we said, we're a different kind of media company. After all, if the economy is shrinking, how is Betawave growing??

In February 2007, Tabreez was named president, overseeing the company's operations as well as strategic and corporate development. Prior to 2007 Tabreez was a member of the Board of Directors and an investor in the company. Tabreez brings an extensive track record of success to GoFish. His most recent work includes being a Founder and General Partner at Global Asset Capital, LLC, an investment firm with diversified interests in venture capital and private equity. In this capacity, he directed more than $500 million in committed assets across multiple venture capital funds and over 40 portfolio companies in the U.S. and Europe. Investors across the funds included leading financial institutions as well as strategic investors such as Cisco, Qualcomm, British Telecom, IBM, Proctor & Gamble and General Electric. Previously, Tabreez co-headed Sonique (IMDI) and successfully negotiated its sale for more than $70 million to Lycos. Sonique was one of the leading downloadable music applications and at its height in 1999 had more than four-million registered users and was the fifth most downloaded application on the Internet. Tabreez's first start-up at the ripe age of 21 was as Founder and Managing Director of Global Entertainment Capital, which raised $150 million in capital for media financings and completed the first ever stand alone investment grade securitization of music royalties for heavy metal band Iron Maiden for $30M. Tabreez started his career at Bain & Company, an international business strategy consulting firm. He received a bachelor of science in Engineering with honors from University of California at Berkeley. Tabreez is an early investor and member of the board of directors at Kiva.org, the world's first peer-to-peer microfinance platform, which has been heralded in the press for its innovation and has been featured on both the Oprah Winfrey Show and by Bill Clinton in his recent book on giving. He is also a charter member of TiE, The Indus Entrepreneurs, a global, non-profit network dedicated to the advancement of entrepreneurship. He loves travel, tennis, and other competitive sports, and although he rarely gets to do any of those things, he has been known to blind opponents with his stunning good looks and hot shoes.
