This North Carolina Entrepreneur sold his company, Yap, to Amazon in 2011, and the technology Yap developed is now incorporated into smart speakers Alexa and Echo.

WRAL TechWire shares the company’s vision in this article with the provocative headline: “Alexa on steroids: Raleigh start-up Pryon explores new frontiers for smarter assistants.”
