Bright and Ashifi both launched the company together in 2007 or so. Ashifi was at Dartmouth, Bright was maybe in London at the time. Bright was the promoter, Ashifi the technical genius.
They parted ways, and Ashifi went on to found Sproxil with the same technology; he's a good guy and solid engineer. Of course, promotion skills matter -- but, I'd rather see stories about Sproxil!

- tournesol 11y agoThe mention of the other player Pharmasecure being based in Lebanon, NH (just down the road from Gogo's alma mater Dartmouth) caught my attention. It appears the founders were also involved with Gogo near the beginning.

- vessenes 11y agoThat's interesting! It was Bright and Ashifi and a former colleague of mine on the initial patent filing, but much of the tech transfer help came from Dartmouth folks, whether formally or informally, I don't recall. I hadn't heard of these folks. It's such a simple and useful idea, I'm not surprised that there are multiple attempts to deploy it.
