Former OSDL CEO Launches Startup (eWeek)

eWeek looks at Collaborative Software Initiative, a new company headed by Stuart Cohen, former CEO of the Open Source Development Labs. "CSI will focus on building noncompetitive, essential software for vertical industries in a collaborative environment to help companies solve their shared IT problems. The business model for the company is simple: Develop and support essential code that does not exist today and which meets the needs and requirements of a number of competitive companies in vertical industries -- such as compliance and regulatory software for the financial services market -- at a significantly lower cost than if the company were to develop this internally or outsource it, and then offer support for it."
