Hello ! I use this page now and again to create web sites and otherwise "play", so when this page disappears you might find something interesting in its place. I am supposed to be retired but continue to find too many interesting projects. Current projects include bringing several new product ideas to market. I also run SensorWave Technology, Inc., a start up focused on providing public safety solutions. See http://www.SensorWave.com. I provide on-going no-cost consulting to several early stage start ups. In some cases I also provide limited funding. If you have a project or idea for a project, I will, at no cost, provide feedback and recommendations for moving forward. Please introduce yourself and present your idea at a very high level - no details please, and no attachments. If I think that I can help then we can go into more details. MoBjornestad@gmail.com More about me? See below, or Google my name: Mo Bjornestad ................... Currently I am the President and founder of SensorWave Technology, Inc. (SWT). I also co-founded the start ups Astral Remote and SensorWave Corporation which were in the surveillance technology market as well. SWT was formed to attract funding otherwise not available to these earlier start ups. My career started with low level hardware and software experience with early machines that includes micro-code and machine code applications, upgrading OSs and compilers, and teaching software design and languages. Next came a decade of great fun, enjoying software development and IT management roles with Fortune 500 companies. Next I discovered, well, actually rediscovered, start ups. I did my first start up in the early 70s. I was wiped out by the energy crisis in 73-74 and worked for a living for a few more years. Then in 1980 I got back into start ups and I have never looked back. Start ups are hard work but offer a wide range of issues and responsibilities that make every day an exciting opportunity. It is a thrill to help start ups to solve problems and advance new ideas. My start up experience includes starting my own, and running companies for others. As well I have been consulting and mentoring new CEOs, jump-starting sales and marketing management, and training executive management for planning and fund raising. I have mentored, consulted, and worked directly with a long list of start up companies including Accellengent (technology marketing), Advance Planning Solutions (business planning and decision support solutions), Astral Remote LLC (surveillance technology integration), ANAtech Corporation (document management software), Apollo Computer (workstations), BARTA (pro bono consulting and mentoring for hundreds of early stage start ups), Cadre Technologies (graphical modeling tools), International Business Accelerator (start up incubator and business accelerator), Mark V Systems (software engineering modeling environments), PortalAuthority (consumer internet appliances), Staffschedule.com (ASP for staff scheduling), and Stanford Management Group (meta data management warehouse and integration mapping toolset). My BS is from the University of Wisconsin and I attended the University of Utah’s International MBA program. L |
