John Borthwick is the charismatic CEO and Co-Founder of the company betaworks —a venture capital “incubator” that makes seed-stage investments in what they call “the ecosystem of the realtime web.” Among their dozens of investments in the areas of social publishing, data and monetization, commerce and entertainment are well-known digital stars: Chartbeat, Tumblr, TweetDeck and Summize (both acquired by Twitter), bit.ly, Mob.ly, outside.in (acquired by AOL), DailyBooth, Kickstarter and HotPotato (acquired by facebook.) See a recent interview on Marketwatch where Borthwick discusses the future of social media and how it is changing internet navigation.
