Co-Founder, CEO |

Robert Carr is co-founder and CEO of Keep and Share.
Prior to co-founding Keep and Share, Robert was managing director at Sofinnova Ventures, where he invested and co-managed $550 million in early stage high tech venture capital funds.
Before Sofinnova, Robert was vice president of the AutoCAD Market Group at Autodesk Inc., where he managed a major turn around of the company's flagship product, AutoCAD.
In 1987, Robert co-founded the high-profile mobile communications startup GO Corporation, where he led all software development including the ground-breaking PenPoint operating system.
He is the co-inventor and holder of two patents on pen-based computing and object-oriented operating systems.
Prior to GO, Robert served as Ashton-Tate's chief scientist after they acquired his software startup in 1985, three years after Robert's invention of an integrated PC software program called Framework.
Robert is a two-time winner of PC Magazine's Technical Excellence Award for both Framework and PenPoint. In both cases, his products defeated the dominant industry players of the time (Lotus in integrated software when 1-2-3 was dominant; Microsoft in operating systems).
He began his career with "the birth of the PC" in and around Xerox PARC and Stanford University, and has been in the PC software business since he joined Xerox PARC in 1978.
At Xerox PARC, Robert developed integrated applications software for the Alto (the precursor to the Xerox Star, which in turn was the inspiration for the Macintosh).
Robert currently serves on the board of Lohika, a fast growing dual-shore software product development service provider. Robert holds a B.S. and a M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from Stanford University.
