Liquid Compass (“LC”) founded in 2001 as one of the first “creative media” companies to service the streaming media industry, Liquid Compass quickly became known as an innovator, providing a combination of interactive marketing and media, advertising, design and streaming media services to clientele within the TV, Print and Radio industries. After successfully re-launching terrestrial radio to the web in 2003, Liquid Compass made a determination to focus solely on its streaming media division, becoming the first streaming solutions provider to service the radio industry.

To date, that decision has paid off.

The Company founders and executive team have an impeccable entrepreneurial profile: Zackary Lewis is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Liquid Compass, focusing his efforts on new business development, client/staff management, and creative direction and marketing strategies for the company. Zackary is frequently asked to speak and moderate panel discussions on topics pertaining to streaming technologies, monetization tools and trends for the radio industry (including the NAB and RAB).

Prior to founding Liquid Compass, Zackary started Genesis Marketing Group, a national branding and fulfillment company based in Boulder, Colorado. Zackary also founded GloboalTRACK Technologies, an asset tracking Technology Company allowing consumers to detect lost or stolen sporting goods equipment.

Andrew Ronchetti is the Chief Technology Officer for Liquid Compass. His efforts are focused on new product development and the company's overall technology strategy & implementation for each of the business's verticals.

Prior to Liquid Compass, Andrew founded Red Ant Creative, a web design and development firm based in Denver, Colorado. In addition, Andrew spent time as a technology, network and business consultant for the telecommunications industry.

A Sound Investment Leading in a Convergence Industry:

Today the company is looking to grow its investor base outside of the partners for the first time since the company was founded.

The founders are seeking both senior debt and/or an equity partner from a funding source that will provide both synergistic benefits for growth keeping within the company’s goals and capital needs.

The use of this capital will be to accomplish some succinct benchmarks: internal growth within the company and external revenue generation to strengthen the value of the company.

Including, but not limited to:

An EVP, Sales to build a stronger revenue base with a larger sales team to meet current demands

13 New technical team members to keep up with demand and develop new product lines for the radio, mobile, automotive and entertainment industries

Expanded marketing in the USA, as well as Canada and Latin America to further fuel revenue growth from radio stations throughout this hemisphere (both general market and Spanish language)

Power and strengthen mobile streaming technology partners like FlyCast

A CFO/VP of Finance

Expand network presence on the East and West Coast to service clients within North America and reach clients in rim markets within Asia and Europe.

Additionally, Liquid Compass will work to strengthen its technical & network infrastructure to ensure the continued quality that the Liquid Compass Streaming Delivery Network is known for in the broadcast & radio industry.
