In 1992, while a student at Williams College, Bo founded Tripod, Inc., one of the original social networks, headquartered in Williamstown Massachusetts.

He is also Executive Chairman of Bella Baby NYC, a leading newborn photography company, and Managing Member of Cornice Ventures, a group of institutions and individuals that collaborates on investments in private companies.

Bo was Co-founder and Managing General Partner of Village Ventures, an early-stage venture firm and the parent company of LeverPoint, a financial services platform for venture capital, private equity, and real estate funds that was sold to Hamilton Lane in 2016. He was also the Founding Chairman of Everyday Health (NYSE: EVDY, sold to Ziff Davis) and co-founded VoodooVox (sold to UpSnap) and HealthGuru (sold to Propel Media).

Bo has been featured in major business and consumer publications and has received numerous honors, including a Bicentennial Medal from Williams College recognizing the college’s most accomplished alumni. He is also the author of Lucky or Smart?, a book for entrepreneurs published by Random House in January 2005.

Bo resides in New York City with his wife, Katherine, and their three children.
