Walker Digital, LLC

Description

Mr. Walker is chairman of Walker Digital, a privately-held R&D lab founded in 1994 and based in Stamford, Connecticut. Walker Digital has invented hundreds of solutions for a wide variety of business problems. Since its founding, the company has funded an R&D budget well in excess of $100 million. The company has specialized in creating innovative applications that work with large-scale networks such as cell phones and the Internet.

When it makes more sense for another party to take the operational lead, we have licensed our solutions to Fortune 500 companies and small companies alike who share our vision for the future of their industries. This model allows us to focus on continued invention and relies on an existing company with distribution and operational resources to scale our solutions.

Synapse deployed the new model industry-wide and became the industry’s leading third-party provider of subscribers. With more than a 10% market share and 30 million customers, the new subscription model has been enthusiastically embraced. Consumers benefit from a carefree buying experience and publishers enjoy superior customer economics. Recognizing the power of the model as an emerging new standard for subscription sales, Time Warner purchased control of Synapse in 2001 and made it a wholly owned subsidiary in 2005.
