Profile
Mr. Andersson founded Paperboy Ventures, LLC and is a member of the Investment Committee.
He began his business career at age ten as a newspaper carrier for the Cape Cod Standard-Times.
Six years later, he became the owner-manager of a drive-in ice cream shop, whose profits paid college expenses for a family of five children.
After studying mathematics at M.I.T., he joined the Peace Corps and taught mathematics at the National University of Honduras before taking up software engineering, developing applications in high-energy physics, medical imagery, typography, linguistics, and telecommunications.
His entrepreneurial enterprises include Interleaf (1981), developer of an early document processing system, Expert Image Systems (1986), a radiological research laboratory and LightSpeed International (1995), developer of voice-over-Internet software.
Mr. Andersson serves on the Board of Directors of Corcept Therapeutics.
