‘Tis the season for giving. And in the true spirit of Internet companies, we here at BotProof found a way to scale our contributions to our communities.
In conjunction with a newly formed partnership with the Community Foundation of Utah (mission: “to harness Utah’s entrepreneurial spirit in service to the common good through smart philanthropy”), I was invited to join almost 140 like-minded entrepreneurs and senior leaders from Utah’s non-profits in 5-minute “speed mentoring” sessions on topics such as marketing, strategy, and operations. The objective was to provide non-profits with meaningful, strategic advice to help them through their various challenges.
In three hours of intense work, I was amazed to hear of the various services offered to our state, and inspired by the dedication these leaders have to their respective missions. I was pleased to be able to help so many organizations in a short time period.
And our contribution does not end there, we are also a donor — and, again, in a way that capitalizes on the scale of the Internet. By contributing equity to the Community Foundation, our success will help fund their success.
Happy Holidays!

Welcome to our blog! We have started the blog in conjunction with re-launching our website, and have created it as a resource for both current and prospective users of our technology. We believe we have the best CAPTCHAs on the market, and will use this space for several purposes:
- on-going education about our technology, what makes it superior, and how we’re evolving it
- how best to utilize our solutions, whether you are a publisher or an advertiser
- provide context for bot-driven activity, why you might care, and what we are doing to protect you and your site
- occasional “behind-the-scenes” view as to who we are, why we are emphasizing certain marketing messages, and how we are reacting to industry trends
- foster a conversation about best practices for our user base, such as how publishers can maximize returns for themselves and participating advertisers
Our blogs will primarily be authored by the BotProof management team, including this one. I’ve helped multiple startups grow and am honored to have been part of BotProof since late 2008.
I have been tasked with managing the product you see and use, and I think you’ll find that we’ve created a successful marriage between a superior CAPTCHA and a business model where everybody can enhance their revenue:
- publishers can turn existing site functionality (i.e. CAPTCHAs) into incremental, premium ad inventory
- advertisers can enjoy higher ad interactions
- we can fund continued technical development
We welcome your comments!
