One of the first multimanager futures funds. Ranked in the Wall Street Journal's top ten. Built before "quantitative" was a category — assembled a portfolio of trend-following managers using early portfolio optimization techniques.
One of the first desktop investment optimizers. Spanned 230+ asset classes at a time when spreadsheets were the frontier. Sold in 1987; still in operational use today. A proof, before the term existed, that quantitative tools could be made accessible.
Left Wilson Associates in 1994 and built InfoHiway — a distributed Perl-powered search engine with 1.3 million visitors by March 1995. Results featured "Fuzzy Relational Links" for dynamic query refinement. In 1997, built AdCafe — a self-serve tool for placing ads directly on InfoHiway — and offered every indexed site paid top-5 placement. The full stack: search engine, paid placement model, and ad management app. The hate mail was immediate and fierce — "you're ruining pure search." Around the same time, Bill Gross was quietly developing GoTo.com — the same model. He apparently saw the InfoHiway announcement spread through the web community, because he sent a cold email: "have money, interested in buying your company — Bill Gross." Jeremy didn't place the name until he found an Inc Magazine cover story on Gross in a pile under his desk. He chose RMI.net (Denver, practical) over Idealab (California). GoTo.com launched six months later. Yahoo acquired it for $1.63 billion.
Taught portfolio theory and financial planning methodology at the graduate level. Bridged academic frameworks with practitioner realities — the same translation work that defines Yodacom Research today.
