Will Hodgman is a global executive and successful entrepreneur. He founded, built, sold and managed analytics companies that represent the benchmarks in the media research industry (AdRelevance, M:Metrics, Hitwise, Nielsen and Comscore).

Will’s career has been built on seeing early business opportunity gaps, starting companies to fill those holes, raising growth capital, and rewarding investors and employees with the sale of those companies.

In June 2019, Will and Carol returned from the United Kingdom to live full-time in Park City. Though retired, Will is still involved in for-profit opportunities as an investor and advisor. He is currently involved with Stream Metrics, Inc. (http://streamingmetrics.gg), a TV measurement company reporting on viewership of eSports and other streaming content.

In closing, though many claim the Grateful Dead Cornell Barton Hall show on May 8, 1977 as the greatest ever, I disagree. The greatest, in my humble opinion, is Cincinnati Gardens on December 4, 1973. Just saying…
