Mike Lanza

CEO
Menlo Park, California, USA

Video Notebook is the seventh company that Mike has started, and it is his fifth Silicon Valley-based software startup. He sold two of those to public companies for successful exits, including Click.TV, a video annotation software company that he sold to Cisco Systems in 2007. Mike is inventor or co-inventor of four patents, including one from his Click.TV work. Besides all these startups, Mike published a book called Playborhood in 2012 and still speaks publicly on the subject of children’s lives in neighborhoods. Mike holds four degrees from Stanford University - an MBA, an MA in Education, and a BA and MA in Economics.

Outside of work, Mike is a lifelong learner, currently absorbed in the study of solar system astronomy. He also devotes a lot of time playing and traveling with his wife and three teenage boys.
