about
Loeb Enterprises is a New York based business development lab and private investor, focused on cultivating opportunities in emerging media and consumer marketing. Loeb Enterprises, led by entrepreneur and highly successful CEO Michael Loeb, maintains a team of world-class operators, direct marketing executives and technologists that apply themselves to a select number of strategically important businesses each year. These companies vary by stage—from pure start-ups to mature businesses in need of reinvention—but are alike in that they leverage Loeb’s proven blend of business vision and operational skills toward superior value creation.
Prior to creating Loeb Enterprises, Michael Loeb co-founded the Synapse Group, Inc., with priceline.com founder, Jay Walker. Under the leadership of Mr. Loeb, Synapse grew to become the nation’s largest audience generator for the consumer magazine publishing industry, working with over 300 partners in six major industries and through several channels of sales. Leveraging these partner relationships, Synapse expanded its footprint into newspaper and trade publication subscriptions, as well as the marketing of software, DVDs and merchandise. In 2001, Time Warner acquired a controlling stake in Synapse in a transaction valued by the Wall Street Journal to be in excess of $500 million. Along with Mr.Walker, Mr.Loeb was a founding investor in Priceline.com.
