Ryan Scott, Online Marketing Pioneer, Super Angel Investor, and Philanthropist, Joins Karma’s Dream Team Advisory Board

Los Angeles, California U.S.A. – Oct. 15, 2017 – Karma, the world’s first decentralized Smart Community Network, using the Karma Protocol and Karma International Token (KIT) to empower membership-based communities, announces internet marketing pioneer Ryan Scott has officially joined its Advisory Board.

In 2007, Ryan joined Karma when it was known as one of the top business-philanthropic-social networks. Ryan became an active member and was invited by management to be the Keynote Speaker at Karma’s annual Membership Summit in 2015. With Karma’s recent decision to extend its technology onto the blockchain, for every membership-based organization to benefit from its proprietary membership and event management platform, Ryan decided to join forces as part of the next step in Karma’s evolution.

Ryan Scott is an entrepreneur, social impact investor, humanist, philanthropist and online marketing pioneer, legendary for developing and patenting the double opt-in email methodology. After selling NetCreations in 2001 for $111 million, Ryan became an angel investor alongside Sequoia Capital, Mark Cuban, News Corp, CBS Corporation, Elon Musk, and Burda Media, in a number of companies such as Inside, Tesla, CrowdFunder, Tiltify, Lottery.com, Earth Class Mail, Principle Power, Signum Biosciences, Greener World Media, Sierra Nevada Solar, and Cool Earth Solar.  Ryan’s most significant personal investment since 2011 has been Causecast, the world’s most innovative workplace giving, volunteering and social impact platform. Ryan’s vision is to create a world in which corporations compete with each other to make the most positive social impact.

“Having seen Karma’s evolution over the past decade from a social philanthropic club into a great business networking club, I was very intrigued to join this esteemed group of advisors and take part in the next stage of putting Karma’s technology on the blockchain for so many other membership organizations to have access to tools and features that only elite organizations had benefited from so far,” said Ryan Scott, founder CEO of Causecast and longtime Karma member.

“Ryan’s addition to the Advisory Board for Karma is very significant as we will be reaching out to many worthy organizations to give them our decentralized membership management platform, many of which Ryan knows directly. This is one of many ways Karma will ensure worldwide adoption of its platform” said Dylan Marer, CEO of Karma International.

“We are fortunate to have amazing members within Karma’s membership, such as Ryan Scott who are pioneers in their respective industries. Ryna is not joining Karma’s Advisory Board to simply provide advice, but to roll up his sleeves and open doors to revenue generating opportunities as well as to new investors as we are finalizing our pre-TGE stage,” said Mike Costache, President of Karma.

• Brad Yasar, Co-founder Managing Partner at KrowdMentor
