Ashley Stephenson, co-founder of Reva Systems and two other high-tech start-up companies, will discuss his entrepreneurial experiences in a lecture at the University of Rhode Island on Wednesday Nov. 5 in Cherry Auditorium in the Kirk Technology Center on URI’s Kingston campus.

The lecture, part of the Anthony J. Risica Endowed Lecture Series on Innovation and Entrepreneurship and sponsored in collaboration with the URI College of Business and College of Engineering, begins at 3 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Stephenson will discuss the development of three revolutionary technologies and the companies he started to manufacture and market them: the failed start-up Stellar Computer, the successful sale of Xedia Corp., and his current company, Reva Systems.
