Esther Dyson

Esther Dyson and EDventure Holdings. Esther Dyson is an active investor in a variety of mostly disruptive start-ups, and sits on the boards of many of them. She has a knack for finding things early. Dyson launched Flight School, a workshop for air and space start-ups, in 2005. This year’s Flight School, co-hosted with Imaginova, will be held June 4 to 6 in Boulder, CO (http://www.aviation.com/flightschool). Her portfolio of private space and air travel investments includes XCOR Aerospace, Space Adventures/Zero G (recently merged), Constellation Services, Icon Aircraft, Coastal Aviation Software and Airship Ventures. On the IT side, her investments have included Flickr and del.icio.us, both sold to Yahoo!; Medstory sold to Microsoft. Currently, she sits on the boards of Meetup, marketing giant WPP Group (wpp.com, not a startup, but a disrupter in its way), Eventful.com, Evernote, Boxbe and Yandex, the leading Russian search engine. Speaking of Russia, Dyson started exploring and investing in the former Soviet bloc since 1989. Dyson sold her business EDventure Holdings, along with its Release1.0 newsletter and PC Forum conference, to CNET Networks in 2004; PC Forum and Release 1.0 played key roles in the early development of the PC software marketplace and the commercial Internet. Dyson left CNET at the end of 2006 and (with permission) resumed doing business under the name of EDventure Holdings.
