Biography
Jason Liebman is a former investment banker at Credit Suisse and is also a board member and co-founder of the Alliance for Youth Movements and also co-founder of Howcast [1]. Liebman also worked at Applied Semantics before Google purchased it in 2003 [2]. After Applied Semanics was purchased by Google, Liebman went on to work for Google for 4 years where he "played an integral role growing strategic content licensing and monetization relationships for the YouTube, Google Video and AdSense teams" [3]. Like his fellow co-founders of the Alliance for Youth Movements, Jared Cohen and Roman Tsunder, Liebman is a member of the group Gen Next which was set up by Tsunder [4]. During the 2008 United States Presidential Election, Liebman donated $5000 to the McCain/Palin Victory 2008 committee on the 3 November 2008 and this money was eventually transferred to the Republican National Committee on the 31 December 2008 [5]. Through this donation, it would appear that Mr Liebman is a Republican Party supporter.
Howcast
Howcast was set up in February 2008 with the intention to provide the "largest - and highest quality - how-to videos on the internet" and has links to companies and public bodies such as the State Department, US Department of Defence, Kodak and Ford [6]. Liebman set up Howcast with the help of three other people, who included his twin sister Darlene [7]. Howcast has offices in both San Francisco and New York [8].
