About Brian Kennish

I’m the co-founder of Massive, which is developing an alternative to ads and paywalls for making money and paying online and was motivated by my frustrations as an indie developer (and internet user) over most of the last decade. In that time, I created 7 apps – for iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera – that’ve topped 1,000,000 active users and another 14 that’ve topped 10,000. Altogether, my apps have been installed 20,000,000+ times, been rated an average of 4.5+ out of 5 stars by users, and been featured 1,000+ times by the press and by platform vendors – including in Forbes[1], on 60 Minutes[2], and by Apple[3], Google[4], Mozilla[5], and Opera[6]. I’ve had, among them, an app named one of the 100 best innovations by Popular Science[7], one of the 20 best Chrome extensions[8] and 20 best Firefox add-ons by Lifehacker[9], and the best technology at Launch[10]. I’ve also spoken about privacy and security at Defcon[11], about app development at Google I/O[12], and about Disconnect at Launch[13] and my research has been published by The Wall Street Journal[14] and CNN[15].
