Kevin O’Connor, the founder and CEO of the comparison engine FindTheBest.com, has been on both sides of the VC table. As an entrepreneur, he was founder and CEO of DoubleClick, founder and vice president of research at the Intercomputer Communications Corporation and was the initial investor for Internet Security Systems. O’Connor previously headed his own VC firm, O’Connor Ventures, where he has reviewed hundreds of opportunities but has only invested in a few companies.
