John Ason has been an angel investor for over 12 years specializing in early stage pre-revenue companies. He
has made over twenty eclectic investments in the areas of e-commerce, technology, advertising and
entertainment. John was at AT&T Bell Labs for over 25 years, first involved in software and technology
development, then in marketing and business management of large telecommunications projects overseas. He is
a graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology. He is a guest lecturer at the Rothman Institute of
