George Tsiolis is a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School and the Founder of AGORACOM, a second-generation financial community that has successfully eliminated epidemic levels of spam, bashing and profanity that plagued first-generation communities.
George accomplished this by rejecting the traditional advertising model, which sacrifices quality for page views. Rather, he created an ASP model for public companies to create a community of shareholders, as well as a wiki-powered “freemium” model for shareholders of non-clients.
The results have crushed the status quo model for financial discussion forums. AGORACOM is generating 7-digit revenues and 6-digit profits from over 80 clients. Most importantly, both public companies and individual investors are extremely happy. Currently, approximately 120,000 unique visitors read 10,000,000 + pages of information every month.
George will be presenting this model at Money:Tech as the future of online financial discussion.
