In 2015, Richmond helped found Proper Media. Its first official client was Snopes.com, the largest and oldest fact-checking website on the web. After a year, Proper Media purchased a significant stake in Snopes.com. There is currently a legal dispute regarding whether Proper Media purchased 50% or 40% of Snopes.com. Richmond currently serves as a board member of the Snopes Media Group.

In 2014, Richmond, along with his business partner Drew Schoentrup, acquired TV Tropes a wiki geared toward fiction writers.

Richmond started out at ShareTV.org and was completely unable to obtain the commercial equivalent, ShareTV.com, from a cybersquatter. In 2013, Richmond won a lawsuit for ShareTV.com against the cybersquatter, despite the fact that they owned the domain seven years before ShareTV began its trademark.

Richmond attended the University of Las Vegas at the age of 16. However, he dropped out after only 3 semesters to start his first business. The first website he built was a search tool called PCNames which helps to find available domain names. Richmond founded his first large website in 2007, called ShareTV.com. This became one of the first online distribution partners of HULU and TheWB, and was one of first sites to stream the Oscars online for the first time.
