A veteran of both the Iraq War and the scramble for partnership at an Am Law 100 firm, L. Okey Onyejekwe Jr. is used to challenges.
So maybe it’s not surprising that Onyejekwe, a 40-year-old IP litigator in Silicon Valley, left the partnership at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman last month to focus on his new job as CEO of Zobreus Medical Corp., a startup mobile and health technology company. As of late Thursday, Zobreus had raised more than $11,000 on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter toward a $50,000 fundraising goal in its quest to develop a patient-oriented electronic medical record (POEM) app.
