Cujo’s Sashay In The Market
Cujo is co-founded by Einaras Gravrock and Yuri Frayman.
Einaras has turned a napkin concept into a thriving online business generating more than $50 million a year revenue in only five years. He has helped an e-commerce site become a NASDAQ-traded $600 million enterprise. His expertise in marketing, business development, global e-commerce and the use of disruptive technologies has earned him a place as one of Goldman Sachs’ “100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs.”
Frayman has a unique cross-disciplinary background and a deep operating experience as a serial venture capitalist. As a serial entrepreneur, he has helped lead four venture-backed companies to successful exits for his investors.
As a parent, Gravrock was very conscious about the safety of his kid, when online. He was unable to find any solutions that offered complete protection for all home devices. Soon after, Frayman approached him with the idea of building a device that would protect all of the Internet of Things in the home.
