Nadav Shoval and the argument that became a company
An early rejection led him to a co-founder, and a bet on the comment section built OpenWeb. After a public fight over its leadership, Nadav Shoval is starting again with calendars and nuclear fuel.
Jim Daily
Jim Daily is the CEO of OpenWeb, the audience-engagement and conversation platform for digital publishers. He took the top job on April 1, 2025, arriving after almost a decade scaling Teads in North America from a standing start to roughly $275 million in annual revenue, and after a detour founding LinksDAO, a golf-community venture he grew to $11 million in ten months. A Boston University hospitality grad turned adtech operator, Daily is the rare media leader who pairs go-to-market discipline with a near-religious belief that healthier online conversation is good business and good for society.
