Former Lotus & Microsoft exec Ray Ozzie hiring for new start-up, Cocomo
Ray Ozzie e-mailed earlier today to let me know that he has a post-Microsoft start-up, and he’s hiring. But aside from mentioning that the company is called Cocomo and doesn’t yet have an office of its own, he didn’t want to divulge much more.
Ozzie is perhaps best known as creator of the 1990s collaboration product Lotus Notes, and more recently as the person Bill Gates chose to succeed him as Microsoft’s chief software architect, in 2006. Ozzie spent four years in that role, departing at the end of 2010.
Ozzie wrote that Cocomo is “being bootstrapped with a few folks that I’ve worked with before. In the short term, I probably won’t be posting much more than ‘they’re recruiting,’ because the team won’t be ready to talk about what they’re working on for some months.”
