Bob Compton
Bob Compton has spent most of his career as a professional venture capital investor specializing in start-up technology companies, primarily medical tech and software. He has served on the boards of over a dozen non-profit organizations, including as a Trustee of the Kauffman Foundation, a $1.8 billion foundation dedicated to accelerating entrepreneurship. Compton’s latest endeavors include global traveler, author, record producer, photographer and film-maker. Two Million Minutes: A Global Examination is his first documentary film which was released this year. The film follows 2 high school seniors in India, China and the U.S. to compare and contrast the high school experiences in each country. How kids spend their time during high school – approximately 4 years, or two million minutes – in each culture is radically different and has profound implications for America’s economy in the decades ahead.
