Seattle’s Top Ten Startup Founders Over 40
Summary
Mention the term “startup founder” to someone at random, and theyll likely conjure up an image of the cast of HBOs Silicon Valley: An unkempt team of Mark Zuckerberg-esque socially-awkward guys bootstrapping their way to uncertain success. The technology is being targeted to film and game developers initially, as well as other vertical markets including education, advertising and travel. Brian Roundtree, co-founder of Autograph, a B2B service that provides companies with the ability to collect user profiles from their audiences, previously founded SNAPin Software, which was sold to Nuance for $200 million. As co-founder, Kristen built the organization from 0 to 500 people, raised over $300 million of investment capital, and led the M&A team to acquire and integrate four private companies in two years. He has 20 years of industry systems experience, and prior to Qumulo, was VP of engineering and CEO of Corensic, where he brought the world’s first thin-hypervisor based product to market.
