Who is Ali Partovi?
Prior to iLike, Ali established himself as an entrepreneur by co-founding LinkExchange, which was
acquired by Microsoft for $265 million in 1998. Ali also co-founded "DrinkExchange," a monthly social event that
spread from San Francisco to Washington, London, Tokyo, and Sydney. After leaving Microsoft, Ali
co-wrote a feature film and started a band, both of which failed.
In 2002 Ali led the effort to save GarageBand.com from being shut down and has been with the
