An Old List of WAVX Investors, Posted By MIT Student...
Tonight, while rooting around, I found an old (1995? 1994?) list of WAVX investors, posted by a then-post-graduate MIT Student who had done some research into Wave Systems and interviewed Peter Sprague. The list has probably already been digested by the RB folks some months back, but, for me, it's new and newsworthy. Some of the names on here are famous in technology circles. Plus, taken in toto, the list speaks volumes about how many influential folks have seen and been impressed by Mr. Sprague's vision. Whether these folks are still investors, IMHO, is hardly the point. Here's the list:
Michael Von Clemm, Former Head of Merrill Lynch George Montgomery, Head of Hambricht and Quist, NY Stanislas Yassukovich, Vice Chairman, London Stock Exchange Philippe Von Stuffenberg, Warburg Pincus Harold Wilmending, Senior VP, U.S. Trust Company Philippe Bertin, Financier Wagram Poncelet, French Investment Group John Bagaley, Managing Director, Boston University Community Technology Fund Yuval Birin, Former Partner, Adler & Co Butler, Chapman, NY Investment Bankers Donald Weeden, Weeden & Co.
