Excited to share that I’m joining Sharp Pen Media as an advisor. I’m doing this because I believe in what they’re building, and they believe I can help. I bring operating experience as a founder, investor perspective across 80+ adtech companies, and industry visibility I’ve built along the way. That’s a natural fit for what Sharp Pen needs to grow to the next level. When Joe and I started Open Market, I introduced him to companies like tvScientific, Scope3, and Viant. I saw firsthand how Sharp Pen thinks about communications, and the results they drove. One conviction I have: in an AI-accelerated world, marketing and distribution are the new strategic advantages. Product differentiation compresses fast. The companies that break out will own their narrative. Joe and the team help make that happen, fast. If you’re an adtech founder or exec looking to build your voice, happy to make an introduction. And if you’re interested in joining the team: they’re hiring.
Welcome aboard, Eric! Super excited to have you.
Eric Franchi We are lucky to have you on the team. Onward!
