Manpreet Singh is co-founder and President of TalkLocal, a company that connects users with service providers over the phone within minutes of their request.  He started his first company in high school - a website that had 300K visitors per month.  He then worked full-time at an investment management firm through college and his MBA, helping to grow it from $20 million to $2 billion under management, and now has launched TalkLocal.
