EVO's founders have a strong commitment to growing the green marketplace and their backgrounds are well suited for this endeavor. Both have extensive experience building large marketplaces made up of groups of disaggregated consumers and businesses. Siegel was a cofounder of Student Advantage, which built a community of two million university students and more than 20,000 businesses that wanted to provide them with products and services.
