Crist is a successful early-stage CEO and venture capitalist with nearly 30 years of experience at INET, Texas Ventures and various technology companies. “Mark and I considered the relative maturities and emerging opportunities for both companies,” Crist said adding, “We decided this swap was a natural fit for each of our skill sets and the relative stages of the companies.
