Built by people who have done it before

Robert Maynard, Jr. is the Founder & CEO of Top10Lists and AnswerShare.

Maynard has built category-defining technology since the 1990s. He co-founded Internet America (NASDAQ: GEEK), one of the first consumer ISPs, and LifeLock (NYSE: LOCK), the company that defined consumer identity-theft protection — he created its product, marketing, and technology, then deliberately structured himself out of control (no ownership stake, no board seat, no office) and recruited a professional team and independent board. LifeLock went public in 2012 and was acquired by Symantec for $2.3 billion in 2017. He later founded SurchX, acquired by InterPayments, and in 2025 founded AnswerShare, building the infrastructure that makes the open web legible to AI — with Top10Lists as its live proof of concept. In aggregate, the companies he founded and built have reached a combined value of roughly $2.7 billion.

Maynard served as an enlisted U.S. Marine and as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. He graduated magna cum laude from Northern Arizona University (B.S., finance & mathematics), where he was named a Distinguished Military Graduate, won a Wall Street Journal Award, and was a Harry S. Truman Scholar finalist (Phi Kappa Phi, Beta Gamma Sigma).

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his forties, Maynard is among the more outspoken mental-health advocates in technology. He wrote a memoir — One F*cked Up Dude — and speaks and writes openly about living with the illness and about neurodiversity in the workplace, treating it as part of the record, not a footnote.

Kevin Myers is a brand-and-technology executive based in Scottsdale, Arizona with three decades spent at the intersection of marketing and technology. He has led go-to-market and marketing strategy for category-defining companies, including Market Brew, the patented predictive search modeling platform, and Act! and SalesLogix, two of the defining CRM platforms of their era.

His approach grows out of what he calls "system-first thinking" — a conviction that marketing and technology belong in a single workflow, an idea that produced a filed process patent for Workflow and AI Technologies at AiAdvertising.
