Geek of the Week: serial entrepreneur Brian Fioca has studied the art of the startup for 10 years
Summary
Brian Fioca has been bouncing around from one startup to another since he founded his first company, a job posting site called Jobby, in 2005. Jobby was acquired by Jobster just one year later — and so began what has become a long and successful career in the startup trenches. Fioca has now worked with nine different startups, from iPhone-optimized website builder Zapd (which was acquired by RealSelf in 2013), to time management app RescueTime, which he took through the prestigious Y Combinator accelerator program. His job is to help form business concepts, build out the products, bring on customers and then handoff his startups to a founding team to scale. Fioca has incubated two companies this way at Madrona, including Spare5, and is working on a few others right now that he’s not quite ready to talk about publicly.
