Meet Joshua Rosen, also known as the busiest man in Palm Desert. He is the CEO and founder of not one, but two companies debuting this week, social discovery site iLeonardo and digital collaboration site Cozimo. You've heard of serial entrepreneurs before? Demo head Chris Shipley referred to Rosen as a "parallel entrepreneur" when introducing him before his second six-minute presentation.
When asked about how he can manage his divergent interests, Rosen credited his past. A former painter, he spent time studying the craft in Italy and Spain, then went on to work as an artist in the motion picture industry, working on such films as What Dreams May Come and Hulk. No word on whether his two companies' investors are comfortable with this entrepreneur's parallelism, but here in Palm Desert, Rosen has definitely earned his bragging rights -- and his dual attendee badges.
