**More On Michael**

I am a co-founder of two companies: 10x Management and 10x Ascend. ✉ michael@10xmanagement.com ☎ 212-501-0748 🌎 https://www.10xmanagement.com/ 🌎 https://10xascend.com/ Our 2 companies represent some of the world’s most sought-after independent technology professionals. Customers include: Google, Live Nation, American Express, eBay, McGraw Hill, UC Berkeley, academia.edu. ▶︎ ABOUT 10X MANAGEMENT ◀︎ At 10x Management, we vet and represent the greatest freelance tech talent in the world. Our top specialists have a record of creating next-level products and industry-leading companies. We can place talent as fast as you require (often within 24-48 hours) and 95% of customers hire the first freelancer we recommend. ▶︎ ABOUT 10X ASCEND ◀︎ At 10x Ascend, we offer salary negotiations as a service. Most of the world’s best tech talent doesn’t realize (or get) what they’re worth. It's our mission to fix that. With a combined 40+ years of negotiating experience, we take great pride in getting you the best deal possible. ▶︎ ABOUT ME ◀︎ I got my start as an entrepreneur in the entertainment industry in 1995 when I co-founded Brick Wall Management, a music management company. I helped shape the careers of musicians like John Mayer, Citizen Cope, and Vanessa Carlton. In 2011, I founded 10x Management with my partner Rishon Blumberg and a brilliant software engineer to create the world’s first tech talent agency. I also co-founded the nonprofit organization Musicians On Call, dedicated to bringing the healing power of music to the bedsides of patients at hospitals and nursing homes.
