Finding Founders #107 - Larry Fitzgibbon: The Birth of Internet Video, 300M+ Followers, & the Art of Tastemade
Larry Fitzgibbon is the co-founder and CEO of Tastemade, a modern media company that creates award-winning video content and original programming in the categories of Food, Travel, and Home & Design. Since its launch in 2012, the company has garnered more than 300M+ Monthly Viewers. However, Larry's path towards building this incredible company wasn’t always so clear. Larry began his journey as a communications major with a special passion for technology. Throughout college, he devoured cyber-culture magazines such as Mondo 2000 and Wired, absorbed information about stocks and IPOs, and began to apply his tech knowledge to the professional world. Starting at Kinko’s and Intertainer, he found that his ambitious visions for online streaming were still too advanced for the current stage of the internet. After facing a series of hurdles during a stint at Demand Media, Larry finally found his niche at Tastemade. Since then, Tastemade has opened studios around the world and their shows can be found on Apple TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, Snapchat, Facebook, and many many more.
