Clarence Wooten
Coined a “serial entrepreneur” by Entrepreneur Magazine in its February 2000 issue, Clarence has launched and operated numerous technology companies since founding his first company, Envision Designs, while an undergraduate student.
In 1993, Clarence co-founded Metamorphosis Studios, an interactive multimedia development firm, where he served as CEO and Creative Director until early 1998 when the company was acquired by MediSolv Inc. Immediately following Metamorphosis Studios, at the height of the dot-com boom, Clarence co-founded and served as CEO of ImageCafe.com. Touted as the Internet’s first online superstore of customizable websites-to-go, ImageCafe was acquired for $23 million by Network Solutions/Verisign in November 1999 just seven months after it launched. In 2006, Clarence founded Groupsite.com (formerly known as CollectiveX), a social collaboration platform serving over 40,000 companies, associations, education and government agencies with secure, collaborative, online community sites.
Articles about Clarence have appeared in Forbes ASAP, Entrepreneur, CNNfn, The Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company magazine. Clarence’s entrepreneurial experiences are also the subject of a Babson College case study.
Clarence has a B.S. in Business Management from the John Hopkins University and currently serves on the Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board for its Carey Business School. Additionally, Clarence serves on the board of trustees of Philadelphia University and several other non-profit organizations. Clarence is an avid supporter of the community and was awarded an Honorary Alumni by the University of Maryland in 2006 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus of Johns Hopkins University in 2010.
