Eric Bleke

Eric has spent almost his entire career in early stage technology. Early on, Eric joined Enterprise Computer Systems where he helped computerize the retail building supply industry. He later continued through a series of successful entrepreneurial ventures. On the cusp of the arrival of the Internet, Eric co-founded Technologic, a pioneering Internet security firm that developed one of the first and most successful firewall appliances used by major corporations worldwide. After Technologic was acquired, it wasn’t long before he co-founded Catalysta Partners, a venture catalyst firm focused on providing leadership and strategy for early stage technology companies. In 2011, Eric joined StarPound Technologies as President / COO specifically to look for emerging market needs that could be addressed by the company’s cutting-edge multimedia development platform.
