FROM CONCEPT TO SUCCESSFUL EXIT

Swype broke on the Seattle tech scene when it won our Spring Northwest Startup DEMO in May 2008. In a little over three years, the company has gone from concept to a recently announced successful exit (acquisition by Nuance Communications). Join us Nov. 3 for our next VLab and learn best practices to benefit your business from Swype CEO Mike McSherry.

Mike McSherry is an experienced internet and mobile entrepreneurial executive. He was the co-founder of both Amp'd Mobile and Boost Mobile. At Amp'd Mike was the SVP Emerging Technologies and was involved in all strategy, service and platform strategies. At Boost, Mike led the product management and data services team and was a key founder in both the Australian and US launches. Prior to Boost, Mike co-founded and sold ZIVO which was the largest Interactive Agency in Australia/New Zealand and one of the largest in Asia. Mike started his technology career at Microsoft serving in multiple product management roles.
