Only conceivable notability is as the lead investor of Grammarly, which I do consider to be notable. (But see the lede of this article for a promotional sentence about him, found also in the present article). Apparently the only other thing of even marginal significance that the apparently promotional ed. could find is being semi - finalist for an award  DGG ( talk ) 17:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge to Grammarly. I agree that he seems to be of questionable notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:32, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete He certainly isn't notable enough for a stand-alone article, but why merge to Grammarly? At the most, it might be justifiable to mention there that he is the CEO of the company that sells Grammarly, but there is no reason to see him as notable enough to be given substantial coverage in an article about a product sold by the company is connected to.

 * Delete - About 3 or 4 of my first Google News searches provided absolutely nothing and my subsequent searches provided nothing useful either here (bizjournals.com, minor mentions including the General Catalyst Partners investment). I also found some minor mentions in a The Economist article. I also found another minor mention for the GSP partnership here and an even more minor mention here. Basically, he's best known as the CEO and there's not much for a separate article. No prejudice towards a future article if the time comes and he's independently notable.
