MISSION VIEJO, Calif., January 25, 2012 – OptionEase® Inc., the global leader in on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications for fair-market-value accounting and compliance, is pleased to announce that its CEO and Founder, Kim Kovacs, was invited to guest lecture at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s undergraduate class on Entrepreneurship.
The undergraduate class, ENGR 122, is part of the UCSB’s Technology Management Program. Only offered to seniors at the school, it aims to prepare students for the challenges and benefits of starting their own businesses, especially in the field of technology.
“I’ve always admired UCSB for its academic excellence, and of course, for helping its students find success on their own terms, as entrepreneurs,” said Kim Kovacs, CEO of OptionEase. “I’ve founded many companies, including OptionEase, and find that the best business models are those which solve problems and modernize their respective industries. OptionEase has changed the way companies and CFOs manage their corporate equity. I’m looking forward to sharing my entrepreneurial experiences with the class. I hope I can give them some tips, which will make their own paths a bit easier.”
“The students in my class are highly-focused and intelligent, poised to excel as leaders of tomorrow,” said John Greathouse, Adjunct Professor in the Engineering Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “I have no doubt a successful serial entrepreneur like Ms. Kovacs, will inspire my class and offer them some great ideas for successful entrepreneurship.”
OptionEase was recently named as the 19th fastest-growing, privately-held software company in the United States by Inc. Magazine.
