Pragmatus separately generated approximately $50 M from its own portfolios. While at Pragmatus, Bill was also the chief intellectual property officer of Object Video, Inc., a privately-held video analytics software company located in Reston, VA.  Bill raised the capital to fund a new corporate revenue strategy and was the chief architect of the Object Video patent licensing strategy that resulted in over $110 M of revenue and a sale of the assets.
