The funniest thing is that now I know what reverse spam is. You know you get spam from people saying, ‘Can you invest in this or that?’ People are now e-mailing me saying, ‘Oh my God, can I invest in your company?’ It’s a reverse solicitation of money.

About
Jefferson Y. "Jeff" Han is an American computer scientist. He was a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences until 2006, and one of the main developers of "multi-touch sensing", which unlike older touch-screen interfaces was able to recognize multiple points of contact. He studied computer science and electrical engineering for three years at Cornell University. He presented his multi-touch sensing work in February 2006 at the TED Conference in Monterey, California. He founded a company called Perceptive Pixel to develop his touch screen technology further, and he has already shipped touch screens to parts of the military. Han's company was acquired by Microsoft in 2012, where he became Partner General Manager of Perceptive Pixel. He was named to Time magazine's 2008 listing of the "100 Most Influential People in The World".
