Team

  • Co-Founder

    Nomi has been a rabid fan for a long time. She bought Subway to keep "Chuck" on air and can always find the pineapple in "Psych." During her undergraduate years at University of Texas she studied Advertising (BS) and earned certificates in Latino Media and Business Foundations, all while letting the idea for Platypus TV percolate. Now after earning her Master's in New Media Management at Newhouse, Nomi is ready to get this idea launched.

  • Co-Founder

    Sarah started her career in entrepreneurship by purchasing candy from BJ's Wholesale club and reselling it from her locker. Although the principal of her school quickly caught on and ended that endeavor, she had made enough to pay for her babysitting certificate. But mostly, she had been bit by the entrepreneurial bug. With experience in a variety of businesses, Sarah has the expertise and ability to manage this project.

  • Connor Vanderpool
    Co-Founder

    Web Development, Gamification and devouring Dinosaur Oatmeal are all things that Connor does with extreme proficiency. With a BS in Game Design and Development from the Rochester Institute of Technology and a minor in Web Development, Connor brings the technological skills needed to build the project. He also has an eye for design and knows how to create something that's entertaining to use.
