In 1999, Rosedale left RealNetworks and founded Linden Lab. There he led the creation of a virtual civilization called Second Life, fulfilling his lifelong dream of an open-ended, Internet-connected virtual world.
In 2010, he co-founded LoveMachine (www.lovemachineinc.com) as a lab to build several new ideas at the edge of work, computing, commerce, and intelligence. Out of this work, grew Worklist, a global community of web developers, and Coffee & Power.
In November, 2011, Rosedale released Coffee & Power version 1.0, a site that enabled people to connect for small jobs and services using a free-market system and distributed work principles. He is currently working on C&P 2.0, which includes a mobile application to extend and expand your work identity online.
