Steven Lee has scaled companies from the garage stage through IPO. He began his career working on the first commercially viable speech recognition systems at Nuance and SpeechWorks (now Microsoft). He then co-founded ScanScout, a market leading video advertising platform that leveraged the same AI/machine learning techniques used in speech recognition for video ad optimization. ScanScout merged with Tremor Video where he served as CTO and the combined company had an IPO. His companies have received numerous awards including Emerging Tech NEVY, WSJ Top 50 Start-ups, and MITX Technology Award. He holds a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree from MIT. After watching his family confront his grandfather’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, he became passionate about using technology to address gaps in caregiver support.
