Ted Rheingold
Top Dog Ted Rheingold founded Dogster & Catster as a way for people to unite around their common passions. At Dogster, Inc., Ted sets the company's strategic direction and growth, though he's still a coder at heart. Prior to founding Dogster, Ted's entrepreneurial and leadership skills were honed running the web services company One Match Fire, which he founded in 2002. Ted began building web applications in 1996, and held senior engineering and design positions at global companies such as Preview Travel (now Travelocity.com) and Voquette, Inc. (now Semagix).
As an authority and leader in developing "passion-centric" online communities, Ted has spoken at numerous technology conferences and companies including CommunityNext, Web2.0 Expo, South by Southwest, Google Campus, The Future of Web Apps Summit and Webzine. Ted graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 with a B.A. in International Relations and believes his diplomatic skills are being put to great use bringing an end to the ancient canine/feline conflict.
Previously, Ted was Administrative Director of the California Council For International Trade. He also spent a year in Bangladesh as a Fellow with the International Development Exchange supporting community and women's initiatives
