For 15 years, Michael was the (human) face of Best Friends, and also the editor of Best Friends magazine, carrying the vision of “a better world through kindness to animals” to millions of people. As chief-fundraiser ($35 million per year) for the organization, he built a committed, grassroots, even recession-proof membership base. Landon Pollack: Chief Executive Officer – is the managing partner of Ignite Venture Partners, which brings together consulting, capital, and concept incubation to build value in businesses of all sizes and stages, and across industries.
