We then built Direct Response Technologies; grew it to 70 employees; and sold it to Digital River in 2006. We spun off Jambo Media with our tech team and sold it to Undertone in 2012.
We built and focused on GiftCards.com and in 2016 sold it to Blackhawk Network with over 100 employees.
Today, our current focus is Gift Card Granny, PerfectGift, and GiftYa. We have grown from 25 employees / contractors in 2019 to over in 2022.
