Today I'm really excited to talk with my friend Chris Bergman former CEO of Choremonster. Chris dropped out of high school and was art director at a skate magazine in San Diego (that I personally subscribed to at the time). He then started building websites and built an app development company called Wiseacre Digital. In 2011 they had an idea for an app that would make it fun for kids to do chores - called ChoreMonster - and with this the concept got into the Brandery Accelerator in Cincinnati, OH. After leaving the Brandery they got investment from a local VC Cincytech. They later raised a Seed round from Detroit Venture Partners in 2013 and got into the Disney Accelerator in 2014. After shopping the company around for sale in 2018 he ended up taking an acquihire deal with Verizon in 2018.
