Jason Howe

To say Jason Howe and his team at Awarepoint Corp. have been busy this year would be an understatement.

Howe, chief executive officer for the company, racked up more than 430,000 miles domestically in 2008 rallying interest in the company and its product while trying to understand what the market needs, what is working and what is not.

In November, he announced the company raised $13.3 million in a Series D round of venture capital financing led by Cardinal Partners and joined by Venrock and existing investor Avalon Ventures.
