Santa Rosa, CA
Richard Lang is the Chairman & CEO of Democrasoft. He is also co-founder of the 20 year-old public company, Burst.com, Inc. that in 2010 transformed itself into Democrasoft. Richard is a pioneer in the technology industry, having been the co-inventor of the world’s first, patented, dual-deck VCR in 1983 and co-founder of his first public company, Go-Video, Inc. In 1987, Richard invented (and later patented) a revolutionary solution for delivering video and audio programs over electronic networks, in “burst” mode, which created a foundation for today’s video-on-demand and audio-on-demand systems. He co-founded Explore Technology in 1990, which later became Burst.com, to develop and license this technology. Over the past 10 years, Burst has licensed this technology to the biggest names in the industry and continues to monetize these patents today. Richard’s passion for using technology to empower people is foremost in Democrasoft’s mission and is the realization of Richard’s long-time vision for the evolution of democracy and the empowerment of individuals. Richard resides in the North Bay with his family and, in his spare time, is a prolific composer and musician.
