Description

Founder is Hugh J. Sloan III, on far right at 21 Club in NYC with MIT genius and CEO of Mediamorph Michael Sid. Hugh is U.S. accredited angel investor in Silicon Valley and Chief Scientist/Partner at Risk Science Partners

The former SVP and founding team member of Solera Holdings (NYSE) and Camstar Systems, Hugh is a member of the Knights of Lambda Calculus and a USPTO patent author

Hugh was at Stanford University from 1996-2002 in graduate math and engineering. Despite not completing his Ph.D or advanced degree, he made two noteworthy accomplishments: He successfully defended l'Hopital's rule and defeated key postdocs from the Hanson Engineering Lab in a famous math challenge and secured a wife in the process.

Prior to Silicon Valley, Hugh worked as an associate for Don Carter, the reigning proxy and tender offer king of Wall Street during the 1980s. Don was portrayed fictionally as Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone's 1987 movie Wall Street and their offices at 237 Park Avenue were used for much of the footage.

Hugh's current portfolio companies include Hullabalu, WGT Media (World Golf Tour), Camstar and Mediamorph. He is on the Board of Directors of several new pre Series A ventures

Hugh is an avid mountain climber and can be found most summers in Sequoia National Park fighting off mountain lions and rattlesnakes with his pals, one of whom is a Naval Academy appointee and former leader of the US Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Division. To relax, he enjoys solving asymptotic expansions of integrals and inverse Laplace transforms while playing Appassionata backwards, or listening to Ke$ha while working on plasma physics.

His wife, a beautiful blonde engineer who majored in ME at Stanford, works as a R&D engineer in Silicon Valley. She holds 3 patents at her present age of 32. She is currently working with another beautiful Stanford engineer named Elizabeth Holmes in the medical device area
