Having been involved in countless startups in the Ottawa area over the past decade, Kris finally decided to get more proactive and co-founded Incogna. Kris began the technology behind Incogna after developing a curiosity about how the cells in the visual cortex can so effectively process large quantities of visual information. He combined this with his practical knowledge of the most parallel processors on the market (the GPU) in order to develop a large scale visual processing system, which forms the core of the Incogna ICRE&trade engine. Related to Incogna, Kris has received the NSERC Innovation Challenge award (2008), University of Ottawa Innovator of the Year (2007), an award in the University of Ottawa School of Management Business Model Competition (2007) and won the University of Ottawa Entrepreneur's Club Elevator Pitch contest (2007).
