Flip Video innovator Jonathan Kaplan inspires Dubai Women's College Students with talk about Entrepreneurial Journey
United Arab Emirates - 28 November 2010 - Dubai Women's College students and faculty were treated to a master class on entrepreneurship given by Jonathan Kaplan, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco Consumer Products and the person behind the highly successful Flip Video camcorders.
Kaplan spoke about the genesis of the Flip Video family of camcorders and recounted anecdotes of his entrepreneurial journey (in 2009, Cisco acquired Pure Digital Technologies, the company Kaplan founded and maker of Flip Video camcorders). Further, the audience had an opportunity to ask Kaplan questions about the challenges, lessons learned, and rewards of launching a business.
Addressing the role and future of Flip Video and the personal video market, Kaplan said, "Flip Video has changed the way people capture and share video because it makes it simple, accessible and fun for everyone. This is truly an exciting time in the personal video market. Without question, personal video is taking off in a big way, and I expect this trend to continue."
Following Kaplan's speech, ten students were selected at random to receive a Flip Video camcorder. As of November 10, Flip Video camcorders are available in stores.
