I thought that was old but it actually says: "and is currently on the board of advisors of her company." :palm:
and
"has given a TEDx talk on how to be a technology innovator which IEEE boasts as "amazing" and certainly proved you do not have to be an engineer to create something."  :palm:
and
"While Forbes has compared her to the likes of other entrepreneurs, she is in a league of her own that is near impossible to match."  :palm:

The transducers are on the same table as in  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/the-ubeam-faq/msg2127085/#msg2127085
perhaps they've never moved from there. :horse:

The pictures are some of the stock ones used in various magazine PR spots during the 2015 convertible note fundraise. The one in the hat is from an NBC article in March 2015, the one with the transducers on the table is from the July 2015 Fortune magazine "Is this woman the next Elon Musk?" piece.

As best I can tell this site's been up around a week. While the copyright is listed as 2018, it does say "New feature every month" on the home page, and Perry is the only feature.

Main page says "Sponsored by a start-up in Marina Del Rey" and the "Get in Touch" button sends an email to... eeops@ubeam.com

sdpkom:
I thought she's on the board of directors of uBeam (the team that actually makes decisions and has two main responsibilities hire/fire the CEO and approve the budget) and not on the board of advisers (list of trophy characters that you use for PR).

both uBeam.com and Linkedin say she's on the board of directors.
I believe she knows the difference....

Maybe it's their way of saying she's no longer on the board of directors?

Maybe the email should have been oops@ubeam instead?

Domagoj T:
Whois lookup also returns ubeam inc.

When somebody says that some venture is sponsored by an organization, am I the only one that assumes that the sponsor is not the owner of the venture?
Dishonest.

Also says the domain WoTechLeaders.com was registered on 2019-01-15 (2 weeks ago).
