In 1994, he founded Aveo, which invented the now pervasive concept of preemptive technical support, with its products adopted by Hewlett-Packard, Gateway, Dell, Kensington and Logitech. Mr. Hurley's third company, Alset, Inc., was founded in 2001 and helped leading brands such as Best Buy and MicroWarehouse use the internet to improve service and marketing.
