Management Team

Adam L. Beberg
Founder and Chief Technology Officer

The main force behind both Mithral and the Cosm project, Beberg founded Mithral in 1995. With an extensive background in various computing fields Beberg's resume reads like a highlights list of great computing achievement over the last 10 years.

Although Beberg has been working on the Cosm project since before founding Mithral, in 1997 he decided to take a break to run a volunteer project in the area of distributed computing. His project, otherwise known as distributed.net, became a nationwide sensation as the nonprofit enlisted the help of computer users around the globe in order to crack supposed "high-security" encryption keys simply to prove that "it could be done." Beberg's work on distributed.net was mirrored by many others - including the SETI@Home project and dozens of commercial ventures.

In April 1999 Beberg decided that while distributed computing was fun, it was only a small part of the big picture. Beberg returned full-time to Mithral to focus solely on Cosm development. Acting as both CEO and CTO Beberg has a hands-on approach and is intimately involved with all Cosm development.

One of Beberg's proudest achievements was his naming as one of the MIT TR100, one of the nation's top 100 technology innovators. He has also been featured in numerous publications including Forbes, Wired, Scientific American and Fortune.
