About Jason Grad

I am the co-founder & CEO of Massive, an SDK that allows partners to offer their users a premium services in exchange for the users' underutilized CPU. Prior to Massive, I founded Cheerful Giving, a leading fundraising platform for charities, which was acquired by GoodWorld. I've built a bunch of stuff (Cheerful Giving, Massive, RCVR, RunWithMeg...), mentor (Techstars, Defy Ventures, ERA, Founder's Institute, Startup Institute, Venture for America), advise (Harvest, GritDaily), host 50 events/year, work out most days, take on learning challenges (Spanish, Russian, beatboxing), and play a lot of instruments. I've been featured in press for my work at Cheerful Giving (formerly Bstow) in publications like Forbes, O Magazine, Tech.co, TechCrunch, NP Tech for Good, Huffington Post, Yahoo! Finance, and Inc. Always exploring different opportunities, learning, meeting new people, and hacking on ways to have the greatest impact in the world.
