Innovation Series
From Disruption to Innovation  - Jeff Pulver, John Caplan, & David Rose
June 22 , 2010

At the close of the last decade, “innovate or die” became a mantra for many as disruption and chaos reigned.  Large markets shifted, companies collapsed, and new markets appeared. Unprecedented acceleration in technology development and adoption continues to cause upheaval for large stagnant industries and corporations.

Join us for a fascinating evening with three entrepreneurs who are leading the charge of disruption and creating new global opportunities.

We will open with a keynote talk from an internationally  renowned thought leader, author, and seed investor Jeff Pulver, Founder, 140 Characters Conference, (#140conf) and co-founder of Vonage,. The most recent 140 conference was the largest worldwide gathering of people interested in the effects of the real-time internet on both businesses and society.

Following Jeff’s keynote, we will hear from marketing and retail visionary John Caplan, Founder and CEO of NY-based The OpenSky Project. OpenSky has pioneered relationship commerce online and re-imagined retail. In just barely over a year since its founding, OpenSky reaches over 4 million shoppers every month through over 200 sellers and over 500 suppliers. Investors include Highland Capital, Canaan Partners and Silicon Valley super-angel Ron Conway.

Our third featured entrepreneur will be technology visionary and MIT Media Lab instructor David Rose, Found and CEO, Vitality. David is founder of disruptive wireless company Ambient Devices and recently Vitality Inc, which is reinventing medication packaging and improving patient medication adherence patterns with its lead product, GlowCaps. Early clinical trials are demonstrating remarkable results and GlowCaps has been featured in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and even lampooned by Steven Colbert. In his talk, David will propose a set of design principles for disrupting healthcare.
