Amol Sarva: Electromagnetic Brain Stimulation
Dr. Amol Sarva is an American technology entrepreneur who co-founded Peek and Virgin Mobile USA. Peek pioneered the mass market smartphone -- a $30 Internet and email gadget that won awards and honors from a litany of global critics: Time ("Gadget of the Year"), The New York Times ("Simple and chic"), The Wall Street Journal, Wired ("#1 Gadget"), BusinessWeek ("Design Award Winner"), ID Magazine ("Annual Design Award"),and many more.
He is a creator of Cfund, a seed investor focused on Columbia. Amol was co-founder of Blue Mobile until 2007, Digicel's effort to create a simple prepaid wireless offering in the US, where he led partnerships with Verizon and Wal-Mart. He was an engagement manager at McKinsey & Company in New York prior. Major retailers from Target, Radio Shack, and Amazon to QVC, Wired's Pop Up Shop and Skymall all featured the product. Peek's cloud and software technology was built into hardware designs from much larger global players like ZTE and Micromax, and its leading customers use the Peek platform to deploy smartphone apps onto the widest range of smart and featurephones. In 2007, Amol testified in front of the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Senate advocating open access in wireless spectrum policy. He gave oral testimony before Senator Ted Stevens ("The Internet is a series of tubes"). He was profiled on C-SPAN and has written on behalf of the Wireless Founders Coalition for Innovation, and served as adviser to greenfield network startup Frontline Wireless.
As the second employee of Virgin Mobile USA in San Francisco in January 2000, Amol was part of the founding team. He helped build the model, design the data features, and raise the money. Virgin Mobile later went public on NASDAQ and was acquired by Sprint.
Amol's Ph.D. is from Stanford University (Dissertation: The Concept of Modularity in Cognitive Science) and B.A. is from Columbia University.
He is currently developing a new cognitive enhancement technology called Halo Neuro, and an application for better discussions. Halo is driven by a team of scientists and entrepreneurs who have invented, launched, and scaled cutting-edge medical and consumer technology products. It is a neuro stimulation device that boosts brain function by sending electromagnetic waves directly into your brain. It helps healthy people operate at a higher performance level and also has tremendous potential to help those who are not healthy or have damage to their brain.
