AdJack
David Boland, who graduated with me in my MBA class at Cornell, just launched a really interesting new business called AdJack. David’s site lets you watch advertisements in exchange for a chance to win a cash prize, all while letting you rate the ads you like and dislike. Each time you watch an ad, you get a random number. Watch six ads, get six numbers, and be entered into a lottery with a $100,000 prize.
David’s a great guy and he’s been working on this project for over a year. And if you’re not the type to be impressed by an entrepreneur starting a new business, then you should also know that prior to business school Dave was an F-18 fighter pilot instructor for the US Marines!
