Jothy Rosenberg has a PhD in Computer Science from Duke University where he remained as CS professor for five years. He left academia and went on to found nine high tech startups in areas ranging from parallel supercomputers to internet security with some internet infrastructure, a TV show production company, and special effects equipment startups in between. Two of his startups had exits over $100M. Jothy’s most recent startup began as a DARPA program to develop a processor virtually immune to cyber attacks. It is called Dover Microsystems which he was CEO of until Oct 2022 when he shifted to Executive Chairman. Jothy has authored several technical books, a children’s book called Adventures on the Can Do Trail, and has a business book available now in pre-release and in print in June 2024 called Think Like a Startup Founder: Anecdotes of an Incorrigible Technology Entrepreneur . It’s a very honest recounting of the many mistakes a multi-time founder/CEO can make which he hopes will help other founders be better prepared. Jothy lives by the phrase Who Says I Can’t which is the title of his memoir about how he, as a teenager who lost a leg and then a lung to cancer, fought back, survived and thrived (with a healthy dose of grit). It is also the name of his non-profit foundation that helps young people with disabilities regain their self-esteem through success at athletics. Staying on brand, his TEDx talk, same title, is about his theory as to why those with disabilities so often excel beyond their able-bodied peers. He still does the 1.5 mile Alcatraz Sharkfest swim and one 100+ mile charity bike ride every summer. Jothy has three children, five grandsons, and a Golden Retriever. He and his wife Carole live in Wayland, MA.
