Philip Ferreira

President and Founder

Phil studied Business Management and Computer Science at the University of Northern Colorado and St. Mary's College in Moraga, California. He has been developing Internet-based applications since 1996. Phil became an Internet entrepreneur in 1998 when he founded 321Gone, Inc. During the next 3-years Phil grew 321Gone.com to over 100,000 registered members, and millions of consumer-to-consumer auctions. Phil was solely responsible for the management and technical issues that accompany a fast-growing online community. 321Gone.com was sold in June, 2007.

In 2002, Phil launched another proprietary online auction platform which was later renamed MyCar.com. Using his auction experience and online expertise, Phil designed the first automotive system whereby new car dealers bid against each other. Phil coined this proprietary design a "New Car Auction." Thousands of U.S. consumers have saved tens of millions of dollars on their new car purchase, without the headache that normally accompanies the car buying process. MyCar.com has also connected millions of U.S. consumers with new and used car dealers. MyCar.com was sold in December, 2006.

After building several other online companies, including HomeBuying.com, Phil decided to go back to his first Internet thrill, developing online communities. In 2006, he built and launched DateFree.com. DateFree is a free online dating website with technology and features comparable to the big companies, with the added twist of friends and networking. Phil's personal mission for DateFree was to build a fun website where people from all over the world can network with their friends and enjoy online dating in a safe environment. DateFree.com was sold in October, 2007.

After the sale of 321Gone.com, HomeBuying.com, MyCar.com and DateFree.com, Phil and his business partner decided to form a holding company for all of their future web endeavors. In Q1 of 2007, WebCorp, LLC was created for that purpose.
