Brian Cohen
"Brian S. Cohen founded TSI (Technology Solutions, Inc.) in 1983. TSI was the first science and technology strategic marketing and public relations agency in New York and one of the first such specialists in the United States. In 1996, TSI was recognized as the fastest growing strategic marketing agencies in the United States. Nearing 300 employees, he sold the company to The McCann Erickson Worldgroup, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies in 1998.

Additionally, Brian started Focus Technology, a Focus Group company that provided qualitative research and beta site testing services. Brian provided all development and moderating support.
Before launching TSI, Brian was a founding publisher of Computer Systems News and InformationWeek magazine at CMP Publications. While in graduate school, he was involved with pioneering computer trade publications including Personal Computing Magazine and Minicomputer News from Benwill Publishing.
Brian received two Honor B.S. degrees from Syracuse University in Biology and Speech Communications. He also received a Masters Degree in Science Communications from Boston University's School of Public Communications in 1978 and currently serves on the Dean's Advisory Board of Directors."

Lawrence Richenstein
"Larry Richenstein is a serial entrepreneur, inventor, and angel investor. His last start-up was Unwired Technology LLC that he founded in late 1996, and in which he sold a majority interest to American Capital Strategies (ACAS) in May 2005.  In January 2007 he resigned his positions as President/CEO of Unwired and remained Chairman of the Board until June 2008.

Richenstein has been an active participant in CEA (CEA owns and operates CES, the largest trade show in the US), as a member of its Board of Industry Leaders from 2001 until 2008, and is currently a member of its Division Executive Board. He also is Chairman of the Automotive Electronics Division Board. 

Since his departure from Unwired Technology, Richenstein has invested in over a dozen early-stage companies both on his own and as part of a group of angel investors, New York Angels, in which he is a member.  In December 2008 Richenstein led a preliminary financing round in a location-based social networking company, Centrl Inc. He currently serves as its Executive Chairman, concentrating on business development and sales functions. Richenstein is also on the Board of Directors of CE Interactive, an innovative software and services company that has developed the definitive platform that helps users manage, support, improve and simplify their consumer electronics experience."
