He is a graduate of Stanford University, and began his technology career at the IBM Scientific Center in Palo Alto. He was the deputy to the chief technical officer of Price Waterhouse and was also the vice president of Expert Edge, a software design company. In 1991, Min co-founded Future Labs (one of the first companies to produce multi-point document collaboration software). After Quarterdeck's acquisition of Future Labs in 1996, Min co-founded WebEx. WebEx is a pre IPO company and its mission ismeeting enabling web sites.

For more information of Webex, please check out itsweb site at www.webex.com Min will discuss his thoughts on web technology development, and will also share his thoughts on the necessary environment for starting up a company as a technical person, as most of us are. After starting up two companies, the first one being acquired by Quarterdeck, and the second one on its way to IPO, Min will reflect on the days when he believed that technology is all that takes to make a successful venture, and the change of his view to believe that working in the right environment with experts in sales, marketing, financing and other areas is the key to drive a successful startup.
