Mitch Kapor is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Creator of Lotus 1-2-3, the spreadsheet that put the PC in every office; co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and first chair of Mozilla.
Born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, Mitch Kapor founded Lotus in 1982 and created Lotus 1-2-3, the spreadsheet that justified a PC on every office desk and was, for years, the best-selling software in the world. He then became the conscience of the industry he enriched: co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (1990) to defend digital civil liberties, first chair of the Mozilla Foundation, and with Freada Kapor Klein an investor devoted to closing tech's opportunity gaps.
