Hard to corroborate his "founder" and "serial entrepreneur" credentials by googling.[edit]

3Com and AspenTech are two pretty big companies that are named in his various bios and resumes around the the web, but googling the founding stories of those two companies does not turn up his name anyplace. He was at 3Com for a year, then moved to AspenTech where it looks like he had some sales-manager success but it doesn't appear he was a Founder with a capital F and since he was not a Founder of 3Com (employee #8) it looks questionable; got promoted to an executive sales position at Aspenteh a few years after it was founded, but in Europe. then became a board member, which is a successful career but seems like there is spin here. Other companies he "founded" are not named and are not findable by me. Anybody have any ideas? http://web.mit.edu/sma-archive/events/sc/2002/Morse.html http://www.valencianglobal.com/kenneth_p_morse_1.html http://www.tribuna.santcugat.cat/files/4468-196-fitxer/Morse_Bio.pdf http://www.esade.edu/faculty/ken.morse https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenmorse 68.175.11.48 (talk) 01:54, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(just a very few sites about Ken Morse, 3Com and AspenTech)

the Evans transcript you linked clearly says Morse was a hire, not a founder; in the same breath though, Evans does call him a good "entrepreneur" (apparently his father taught entrepreneurship at MIT). 68.175.11.48 (talk) 18:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
