Also, having the backing of Ron Conway is a HUGH deal. However, when I read Nimesh (Nick) Desai was the CEO…I laughed.

Since his days at Nimantics he’s been one of those guys that really pushes the limits of “by hook or crook.” Some of his past companies:
Nimantics
Invium.com
Lemko.com
Zkey.com
Juicewireless.com
Juicecaster.com

I’m not some disgruntled employee, I’m happily employed by the county government. In fact, I’ve known Nimesh for quite some time and even hung out with him and his siblings on Ocean Ave. I’m finally speaking out because several friends have lost money because of him and he is the exact opposite of a true leader. To his credit he is an excellent salesperson and can pickup the lingo, thank god he did not turn into a mortgage broker. He is a pure ego manic and it shows in some of the online descriptions of him:

…Nick invented Juice’s innovative mobile products including MobileBday.com…
…He co-invented Juice’s flagship, award-winning mobile social media product — JuiceCaster…
…Nick and his team recently developed the world’s first Mobile Video Search (MVS) technology…
…Nick Desai is the Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Juice Wireless…
…I am a single, 36-year-old guy (you try running a company and having a life)…

But it’s not just me, read some of the links below:

Are these people supposedly experts. There is no such thing as spot reduction.
