Hidden Techies: Pushing the Envelope of Technology and Creativity

Meet Wesleyan alumni who are on the forefront of the new hidden tech movement. They have developed small, cutting-edge companies that either produce technology products or use technology creatively as a business driver. Small, virtual companies that rely on alliances and subcontractors to survive, these businesses are often literally hidden from sight and from government statisticians. Their principals have that dream combination of developing work they love while they live in the settings of their choice. Find out how Wesleyan helped shape their entrepreneurial spirit and pick up tips on how to launch a hidden tech business.
