OK, I’m kidding, but they are leaving the good ol’ United States for a new home in Brazil. Yes, that’s right, Brazil, land of Carnival and probably some of the best-looking asses on the planet. Sucks to be them!
Todd Cohen founded ConVerdge, a company that built custom social networks for brands, here in Los Angeles. Of course, that was during a time before everyone decided they just wanted to hang out on Twitter all day instead. They did manage to create a meta social network for Mashable, a blog that writes about Twitter. Once again, all roads lead to Twitter.
However, it seems that outside the US, they don’t know how to type ning.com into a browser, amazing! So Todd is going to Brazil to build next-generation communities for verticals like Soccer and Body Painting, basically the two biggest markets in Brazil.
Robyn Cohen, as tall as she is brilliant, owned the Girls in Tech LA Chapter. She put on some of the better events in the area (our coverage here and here) and also dealt with all the types of drama that one might expect from a bunch of girls trying to do, well, anything. Robyn always got through it with charm and grace.
Like so many in the Los Angeles tech community, we’ve gotten to know the Cohens over the years and will miss them. However, the Percivals do take some solace in officially becoming the best-looking couple in tech now that these two are moving out of town.
