Event Topic:
Building a Billion Dollar Business in an Emerging Technology: IP Communications


Speaker(s):
David Tucker, Founder of Selsius, and now Sr. Director of Market Development for Cisco's IP Communications Business Unit, and Joel Fontenot of Hunt Ventures

Forum Comments(s):
Join us Thursday to hear David Tucker tell the story of founding and growing Selsius, an IP Telephony venture, then selling to Cisco and maintaining that growth to reach a billion dollars in revenues this year. Founded by David in 1997 as a subsidiary of Intecom, Selsius grew to $3 million in revenue and 51 employees by the end of 1998 when it was acquired by Cisco for $145 million. David is the rare entrepreneur to take a venture from inception through acquisition into successful operation within a corporate parent, and he has valuable lessons to share with both entrepreneurs and investors. 
The July 15th Forum is sponsored by Carr LLP Intellectual Property Attorneys.
