TechStar Interview: Esther Dyson

Esther Dyson (Twitter: @edyson) is a most fascinating lady. She's a noted former journalist; a captivated Internet scholar; an acclaimed angel; a passionate philanthropist; an inveterate technology investor in more than 40 companies; a hardened board member of more than 10 companies; and one heckuva good person with whom to talk technology. She's plugged in.

Named by Forbes as "one of America's most powerful women in business," Esther's thinking operates on multiple levels and verticals continuously, according to a report in Huff Post Tech.

And like the Energizer Bunny or an American president, she never stops going and is always traveling.

Esther was born in Switzerland and grew up in a truly intellectual, well-travelled family. The daughter of a father physicist and mother mathematician, Esther inherited some serious grey matter and her natural curiosity about how things worked took her from there. Her father worked at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (where Einstein was one of the first faculty members from 1933 to his death in 1955) and Esther grew up with Nobel Prize winners hanging out in her home.  >>More here
