Clarence Wooten, Founder & Chief Business Architect of CollectiveX Coined a "serial entrepreneur" by Entrepreneur Magazine in its February 2000 issue, Clarence has launched and operated numerous technology-based companies since founding his first company, Envision Designs, while an undergraduate at John's Hopkins University. In 1993, Clarence co-founded Metamorphosis Studios, an interactive multimedia development firm, where he served as CEO and Creative Director until early 1998 when the company was acquired by MediSolv Inc. Immediately following Metamorphosis Studios, at the height of the dot-com boom, Clarence co-founded and served as CEO of ImageCafe.com. Touted as the Internet's first online superstore of customizable websites-to-go, ImageCafe was acquired for $23 million by Network Solutions/Verisign in November 1999 just seven months after it launched. Most recently prior to CollectiveX, Clarence co-founded and served as General Partner at Venturepreneur Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm. Articles about Clarence have appeared in Forbes ASAP, Entrepreneur, CNNfn, The Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company magazine. Clarence's entrepreneurial experiences are also the subject of a Babson College case study. Clarence is an avid supporter of the community and serves on many non-profit boards. In his personal time, Clarence enjoys playing with his daughters; spending time with family and close friends; and attending Maryland Terps basketball games.
