The History Behind Broadcatch |
|
Lumeria (1999)
In 1998, Fen co-founded Lumeria, Inc., a company whose original mission was
to create a virtual networked desktop (code names "NetDesk"). He soon
convinced the president that the privacy-enhanced infomediary space was a
better target, and Lumeria changed direction early on.
While he was there, Fen shared his talents creating the SuperProfile
concept, designing and implementing the BookmarkCity shared net index, and
co-authoring a seminal
Infomediary White Paper.
Fen left the company in 1999 citing "irreconcilable differences" with the
president.
Fen's Broadcatch related contributions to Lumeria remain his property,
granting Lumeria a perpetual, non-exclusive license to the technologies.
