Frank Moss had a childhood dream to be a part of America's space program. But by the time he graduated from MIT with a PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1976, funding for the space program had been dramatically slashed. So he went to work in the computer industry instead, as a researcher at IBM. But he soon left to try his hand in the world of high tech startups. After three companies he found success as CEO of Tivoli Systems, which he took public in 1995 and merged with IBM a year later. After making sure the merger was a success, he went back to starting high tech companies, but this time he realized that he was looking for something much different: he wanted to make a bigger contribution to humanity. This led him to co-found the cancer drug discovery company Infinity Pharmaceuticals in 2001 and then to the directorship of the MIT Media Lab from 2006 to 2011. While there he wrote his first book, "The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices", about the lab's highly unorthodox approach to innovation. He is now back, once again, to the world of entrepreneurship as co-founder of Bluefin Labs, Inc.
