Todd Sawicki is the CEO of Zemanta – backed by Fred Wilson & Union Square Ventures – a startup focused on solving the problem of managing paid distribution for content marketers. Previously Todd was the CRO for Cheezburger, where he managed sales and marketing for the pioneering meme and humor destination helping grow it to an audience of 10’s of millions and literally helping cats take over the Internet by making it a business producing millions of dollars of revenue. Todd is a serial entrepreneur who has founded or helped run a series of startups since the earliest days of Silicon Alley and the Dot Com bubble focused on digital content, music and online advertising. Todd’s prior startups have the notoriety to have written the first revenue check to Zynga, helped write the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and built a key component of Amazon’s CD music store. When not helping startups or cats take over the Internet, Todd executive produced and appeared in a reality TV show.
