Viktor Grant is an Internet architect and entrepreneur responsible for pioneering many technology firsts in the computer industry and on the web, including multi-user round table chats, artificial intelligence-based e-commerce systems, viral marketing services, video magazines, real time credit card content publishing, online bookselling and copy protection systems. He has 20+ years of programming and project leadership experience, ten years specifically devoted to developing breakthrough Internet communication strategies. He wrote his first computer program at age 13, and created the world's first disk copy protection software for the Apple II computer.

At the dawn of the Internet, Viktor created, 21st Century Network, one of the first ten channels in The Microsoft Network, (MSN) where he produced interviews with best-selling authors including Depak Chopra, Jack Canfield and George Gilder in a series of live interactive online events that involved up to 3,000 members communicating simultaneously in ten languages worldwide.

This early experience with the power of interactive group communication inspired Viktor to create Earthgrid, a breakthrough online communications and viral marketing system that he has been developing for nearly eight years.  Earthgrid was created based on the principles in the book "Net Gain" to monetize the social network, as well as the systems theories of R. Buckminster Fuller. Earthgrid leverages Viktor's background in probability, statistics, brain research, chat rooms, interactive Internet communities, music, graphic design, video production and interactive marketing.

Since 1998, Viktor architected and has been developing Live Earth that integrates an underlying meta-search engine with a built in affiliate payment system.

As a web consultant, Viktor has created dozens of websites and Internet business applications, including database-backed interactive interfaces, e-commerce shopping sites, multimedia, streaming media, and audio and video production for forward-thinking startups and leading Fortune 500 businesses. He is also a regularly performing concert pianist, Kinesiologist and writer.

Viktor holds a BA in Quantitative Economics and Decision Sciences from the University of California, San Diego.
