About

Though still early in his legal career, Crowdtilt general counsel Josh Horowitz has strong credentials in the start-up world. Months after graduating law school in 2010, Horowitz co-founded mobile web application company Flyyt, Inc. The following year he launched his own legal practice EmCom Law, specializing in start-up advice. He became group-funding platform Tilt’s first in-house counsel in 2013, establishing its legal function from scratch, and was appointed general counsel in 2014. ‘I enjoy the diversity of work and the large overlap with the operational business development activities at the company,’ he says. Horowitz helped the company design and implement an online winnings collection system for fantasy sport, in partnership with ESPN. Finalized in 2014, it was, he says, his ‘largest achievement to date’ at Tilt.
