CEO, Yodle
Last April, Court took the reins of local search (ad generation) firm Yodle, a three-year-old NY-based startup that helps small businesses boost their web presence and attract new customers through local search engines. And he's helped it grow a little: its revenue is on track for $20 million in 2008, up from $3M in 2007, and its employee base has tripled to 175. Last November, the firm got a nice $12 million round from Bessemer Venture Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. A Double Click alum, Court was COO of Community Connect (and a Yodle investor) before joining the Yodle team.
