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 built on Modern Portfolio Theory. Covered 230+ asset classes at a time when some thought spreadsheets were the frontier. Sold in 1987; still in operational use today — 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.
Affiliate marketing had a well-documented hole: the moment a customer picked up the phone instead of clicking "buy," that commission vanished into the call center with no trail back to the affiliate. The Click and Call Network closed it by building attribution directly into the call platform — so affiliate-driven sales were credited regardless of whether the conversion happened online or over the phone.
Started as a research, development and consulting company serving financial advisors, events, non-profits, and local businesses — just a willingness to build and see what worked. The first real signal came from a reflexology app: no domain expertise, no advertising spend, just careful metadata and an App Store category with unmet demand. From there, built geo-fencing tools for retailers and a nonprofit event app that embedded local advertiser offers into the experience and routed proceeds to charity. Stack: HTML, ReactJS, React Native, NodeJS. But finance kept asserting itself, and when crypto began producing data worth analyzing, the studio stepped aside — v1 of CoinRoc was built, and Yodacom 2.0 emerged as a research and analysis resource.
Two founders had cracked the acoustic language of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster — one signal attracted them, another drove them away. ABT digitized both and built a waterproof playback device, rated to 100 feet, to replace the illegal practice of seeding traps with sublegal juveniles as live bait — a method carrying a 30% mortality rate for animals that hadn't yet reached harvestable size. A late discovery: the same attraction signal also excited sport fish, so a flashing light was added to extend the device into that market.
