| In 1983, with a B. S. Economics / Mathematics from King's College, Kris entered mergers and acquisitions at Goldman Sachs. He later moved to the quantitative strategies group run by Fischer Black where he built one of the first fully electronic trading systems. This powerful system traded up to 12% of the volume on the New York stock exchange between 1983 and 1987. After the crash of 1987, he left Goldman to consult with banks that sought to implement this technology including: Swiss Bank Corporation, Bank of America and Salomon Brothers.
In 1993, while at Sun Microsystems he developed a craving for entrepreneurial ventures. His first start-up was Capital Technologies. |

(NASDAQ: QSFT) and SiteRock by Navisite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI). In 1997, Kris left CapTech to be the lead investor and President of the Web-based investment research firm, ClearStation.com.

Christian Juvan | ||||
| VP Science | |||||
| Christian was born in Germany and moved to Austria with his family at an early age. While in college during summer vacations, Christian traveled through Europe, the Middle and Far East. He learned first hand about extreme poverty and its effects. This formed a framework for his activity later in life.
Christian immigrated to the United States in 1968 after working for 2 years in Austria at the University Institute in Vienna for nuclear physics. His decision to immigrate was based on his desire to do research and to develop new technologies in the area of electrical pulsed energy. He started working at Cal Tech in Pasadena in the early 70's on the development of lasers, holography and optical computing. He then moved to private industry for several years working on the development of high energy equipment for the national nuclear fusion programs. |
Christian obtained patents in the area of pulsed plasma technology in the 80's and decided to go into business as an inventor and entrepreneur. He found applications for his technology in the area of liquid mining, waste destruction, liquids sterilization, and lately gasification of solid compounds (waste to energy conversion). He has participated in founding several corporations since leaving private industry 20 years ago and continues his research and development in applied plasma physics, continuing with innovative work for its application. |
