With $3 Million Raised, Flow Aims To Connect The Worlds Apps, Through Data

Screen shot 2011-11-10 at 4.38.27 AMEric Alterman is a quintessential serial tech entrepreneur. He's founded a fairly diverse set of software, telecom, and semiconductor companies that include Kickapps, which was acquired by Kit digital in 2010, MeshNetworks, which was acquired by Motorola in 2005, Triton Network Systems (which IPO-ed in 2000), TeraNex, SkyCross, and more. In 1997, he co-founded an accelerator that funded and grew companies based on tech licensed from military contractors, like Lockheed, ITT and Raytheon.Today, Alterman and co-founder Tom Luczak are announcing officially announcing their new venture, Flow Corporation, and the beta release of its eponymous Flow platform -- a realtime data platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and content curation platform. The technology is, on the one hand, a data exchange for app developers, and on the other hand, an off-the-shelf dashboard for consumers and enterprises that allows them to create and curate information streams on any subject -- like a suped-up RSS reader.
