About Optevi
(pronounced: opt-ehv-eye)
Optevi was started in January 2005 based on inventions and designs that Dan
Abrams created over the past few years. Sami Vaaraniemi, a preeminent
programmer, was soon brought aboard and developed excellent prototypes. On
August 29th, 2005, our intellectual property attorneys (Gottlieb, Rackman &
Reisman) filed Optevi's patent application with the USPTO.
On January 29th, 2006, after a year of serious R&D, Optevi went online as a
non-public, pre-beta version.
Our Mission:
-
Striving for optimum efficiency and viability.
-
Encouraging the continual search for truth through evidence and reason.
-
Emphasizing innovation as the solution.
