Management Team Expertise

Infinity Venture Group's management team of Ed Addison, John McGrath, and Lawrence Husick has over 50 years of combined management experience with start-up technology-based ventures.  The three founders have worked together for over ten years developing start-up ventures, licensing technology, and managing mergers with public ventures, and preparing IPOs.

Starting with ConQuest Software Inc., the management team saw the rise of the Internet, and developed the first commercial semantic network text retrieval technology. ConQuest products were licensed to companies like Yahoo!, Netscape, IBM, and Inktomi, to name a few. The company eventually merged with a NASDAQ company, and became a joint venture with Intel Corporation. The ConQuest products are continuing t be sold as the leading semantic network based technology for advanced text management and retrieval.

Based on a technology acquisition from IBM and Lotus, the partners then launched Powerize.com, at one point the largest commercial source for non-subscription business intelligence on the web. This venture was eventually readied for IPO, but was sold for a premium to Hoovers, Inc, a leading supplier of company information. Hoovers is now part of Dunn and Bradstreet.

In both the above cases technology was properly valued, a plan developed, executed, and followed through for maximize ROI. The partnership developed Infinity Venture Group to apply their expertise, and those of their affiliates, to supporting a number of ventures in various stages of development.
