Ex-Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz Connects Caregivers With New Site
This article is for subscribers only.
Two years after Sun Microsystems Inc.’s sale to Oracle Corp. ended his run as one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent chief executive officers, Jonathan Schwartz is resurfacing on a smaller stage.
Schwartz announced today the debut of CareZone, a startup website that lets family members and health-care workers share information about aging or ill parents, spouses and children. CareZone has seven employees, is funded with less than $2 million of Schwartz’s own money, and came about as a reaction to his need to care for older parents -- and a desire to try a different business than Sun’s, Schwartz said in an interview.
