In this 50-minute interview, I had the pleasure of having a great conversation with the legend, Auren Hoffman. Auren is CEO of SafeGraph: the place for data about physical places. Auren is the former co-founder and CEO of LiveRamp - the largest middleware company that connects marketing applications. LiveRamp was acquired by Acxiom in 2014 for $310 million. LiveRamp was formerly named Rapleaf. LiveRamp is now a public company (NYSE:RAMP). He is the Chairman and co-founder (with Peter Thiel) of the Dialog Retreat. He is also a Board Member of Datavant. He serves as a General Partner in Flex Capital.
