Andrew HoagFounder

United States - New York, New York

Builder of products, teams and companies. Based in New York, with networks in Silicon Valley, Berlin and London.

I am an entrepreneurial leader who enjoys creating things from scratch, but also have led product lines with $60MM+ in revenue and still can write a line of code once in a while. Currently the founder at Team Labs, Inc.

I've consulted with companies in Germany on marketing, fundraising, digital strategy, and product roadmap. Clients have included corporates like Axel Springer and E·ON, and startups like riskmethods, Resolution Foundry, and Qwant.

Previously, I founded urbantag in 2011 to tackle the trillion-dollar online-to-offline commerce market. Urbantag was born out of innovation at Black Drumm, where we won an fbFund award and launched several products enabling marketers to reach more customers through social media and word-of-mouth channels. Urbantag (neé Black Drumm) exited in October 2012.

Immediately prior to this, I co-founded two startups as CTO and COO, and have been an angel investor and advisor to several others, helping them raise venture capital and with product strategy. Before that, I held management roles in customer engineering, product management, internationalization, business development and marketing at VeriSign. I started my career working for the National Science Foundation Internet before connecting and building supercomputers for NASA.

I only accept connections from people I've met in real life.
