Goldman developed systems in the late 1990s that linked digital music playback and distribution with online purchasing, and later founded a medical device company focused on regional chemotherapy delivery.[3]

Early career

Goldman began his career in the early 1980s in software and systems engineering. He worked as a programmer at Intel Corporation and later at Lockheed Missiles and Space, where he was involved in systems and software development.[4]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he held marketing and management positions in consumer and medical technology companies, including roles at Voit Sports and NCR Corporation’s Advanced Medical Systems division.[5]

GetMedia

In 1999, Goldman founded GetMedia, Inc., a company that developed technology linking radio and streaming playlists to e-commerce purchasing.[6]

The system enabled listeners to purchase music online from real-time radio broadcasts and streaming playlists. Wired described GetMedia as part of broader efforts to connect online media consumption with purchasing functionality during the emergence of web-based music distribution.[7]

Goldman is listed as the inventor on U.S. Patent No. 5,629,867, titled Selection and Retrieval of Music from a Digital Database, which describes a system for identifying and retrieving music from a digital catalog in connection with playback and user selection.[8]

Vascular Designs and IsoFlow

In 2002, Goldman founded Vascular Designs, Inc., a medical device company focused on regional drug-delivery technologies.[9]

He is listed as the inventor on patents covering the IsoFlow infusion catheter, a dual-balloon, multilumen catheter designed to isolate a targeted treatment region from blood flow while delivering therapeutic agents directly to localized vasculature.[10]

According to reporting by MedCity News, Goldman began developing the IsoFlow device following his sister’s diagnosis with colon cancer in the late 1990s.[11]

The IsoFlow catheter received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance in 2009 and later obtained CE Mark approval in 2011.[12][13]

Clinical evaluation of dual-balloon infusion microcatheters has been described in peer-reviewed studies, including work led by interventional radiologist Wayne L. Monsky examining their use in regional chemotherapy delivery for hepatocellular carcinoma.[14]

Konnect Solutions

In the 2010s, Goldman founded Konnect Solutions, Inc., a company focused on mobile and wireless technologies related to customer engagement and contactless interaction.[15]

PrimeTime Media

PrimeTime Media was established in the 2025 as a digital media optimization company focused on online video content.[16]

The company provides services intended to optimize metadata, thumbnails, titles, and search visibility across existing video libraries. According to company materials, it operates on a performance-based business model in which it shares in incremental revenue generated from optimization efforts rather than charging upfront fees.[17]
