Simply put, an all star. Sundeep is very well-connected and one of the most willing people on the planet to help other people out. There are a handful of people who I have no doubt will change the world for the better in a massive way. Sundeep is one of them.

Sundeep is exactly the man you want advising you. He has an ability to execute on an important issue before others can even identify its importance.

About Me
living. learning. living some more.
areas i have experience in (and dig):
- social networks (myspace, etc.)
- social causes (kiva, etc.)
- media (acting, etc.)
what drives me: leveraging technology and media to effect positive change in a scalable way (and having fun along the way).
other fun facts:
- I’ve spoken on several panels on topics ranging from social networking to cause marketing, including at WebGuild and Berkeley’s ”> play” conference
- I’ve interviewed for several publications, including Wired and GigaOm
- I’ve authored / contributed to posts for several prominent blogs, including TechCrunch and Inside Facebook
- I’ve been a judge for the global social venture competition (socialvc.net)
- I’ve got a patent-pending on a “system and method for demand-driven reviews” and a TM on “ask your friends” (from when I started friendput)
education:
BS computer science from stanford (and a minor in econ, but honestly, who cares?)
Track Record
advisor
Campaign platform for social causes and indie media. Basically, what YouTube is to display, RapOuts is to engagement (folks can rate video segments within a clip, upload their own segments, sign petitions post video, pre-order DVDs post video, etc.)

I joined Kiva part-time back in its early days and played various roles but mostly focused on Marketing (official title was “Director of Marketing”). Am still involved as an Advisor / member of the “Special Projects” team.
Make small loan, make a big difference.

- With the help of a few friends, launched a “demand-driven review” service called friendput (a very early and bare bones but stable version is up at friendput.com)
- Attracted committed capital but decided to put venture on hold to co-found richrelevance
- One-liner: friendput helps people make quicker, better local service-provider decisions by providing a way to collect structured, collaborative input from friends (business method patent pending).
It takes a real man/entrepreneur to wear a newsie hat in public!
