illnesses who face financial crises.
Working in partnership with 12

many children with life threatening

treatments, fear, and at times, even
their death, without a parent by andreriveroflife.org
their side.
The Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation was created in the wake
of founder Valerie Sobel’s loss of her teenage son Andre from an
inoperable brain tumor. She realized that it had been a blessing
that she was able to care for her son and not worry about finances
and other resources. Upon discovering that many single parents
with critically-ill children are forced to chose between working to
provide basic needs and staying with their terminally ill child, she
created the foundation to relieve this financial and emotional
burden.

Cardpool was founded by Anson Tsai
and Timothy Wong in 2009 on the
belief that no gift card should ever go
unused.
We created this service to solve the
frustrating problem of having
unwanted gift cards. While we love
getting gift cards from our family,
friends, and coworkers, sometimes we Contact:
end up with an unwanted gift card that Anson Tsai, Founder
we never end up using. Even worse, we

know someone else would enjoy these

gift cards, but we have no good way of
finding them. After talking to our cardpool.com
friends about this problem, we realized
many people felt the same way and we
decided someone had to fix this
problem.
We created Cardpool to solve this problem by creating a service
where anyone can buy, sell, or trade their gift cards in a safe and
secure environment. By gathering all the gift card buyers and
sellers from around the world into one place, we think we can
create a service that lets everyone end up getting exactly what they
want, whether it's a discounted gift card or simply cash
Cardpool is very proud to be backed by Kapor Capital and Y

now part of Google, Facebook, IBM, and Firefox.
