The internet is full of clickbait, eye-catchers, autoplaying videos, fake news and other forms of digital junk. The Otherweb is a walled-garden where users can cut through the noise. We aggregate news, opinion columns, podcasts, research studies, and many other sources of information - in one place. We apply heavy NLP-based filtering to remove all the junk. And we give our users tools to customize their feeds with complete transparency.

LocalBuzz, began as a local discovery platform leveraging video content, and we established a modest presence in several cities that we aimed to expand. During this process, we identified a substantial unmet need and market opportunity, which led to the creation of Pollyn. We serve as the Fiverr for local businesses seeking to connect with local creators for social outreach and engagement initiatives.

For the love of their Rottweilers and passion for great wine, Keith and Patty formed Rott n​ Grapes. Located in Uptown Phoenix, the bistro features an open-window bar, dog-friendly patio and open-air lounge. There are roughly 70 wines by the glass and 50 beers; menu selections of panini, bruschetta, pizza, charcuterie, salad and other small plates. This uptown Phoenix location is the perfect balance of big city ambience and locals​ bar atmosphere.
