Description

Andrew Weinreich has spent the past seven years starting and building businesses. In July 2001, Andrew founded Joltage, an infrastructure services business devoted to building out a global network of WiFi hotspots. Joltage HotSpots were revenue-generating locations where individuals could access the Internet at broadband speeds using their own laptop computers, handhelds or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). The Joltage software and services suite enabled location owners to instantly transform their venues into areas of high-speed wireless Internet coverage that seamlessly link into the worldwide Joltage network.

In 1996, Andrew launched sixdegrees.com, which over a period of five years grew to become one of the largest community sites on the World Wide Web. Sixdegrees allowed individuals to upload their contact managers into the sixdegrees database and classify each contact as a relationship. Through the development of proprietary algorithms, members of sixdegrees could query the database as to how they were connected to any of sixdegrees 3.5 million members. The database also allowed such complex queries as: "show me all the environmental lawyers I'm connected to within 3 degrees." On January 18, 2000, Andrew Weinreich sold sixdegrees in an all stock transaction for $125 Million dollars to Youthstream Media Networks.

Andrew, who previously practiced as an attorney and worked in investment banking, was a pioneer in web-based business development. Prior to founding sixdegrees, he served as Vice President/General Counsel of Hertz Technology Group. Before attending law school, he was a financial analyst at Merrill Lynch & Co.
