Background
Kirsch received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1980.[1]
Business
He has started several companies, including Mouse Systems, Frame Technology Corp., Infoseek and OneID. He was one of two people who coincidentally invented the optical mouse. In 2007, his personal fortune was estimated at $230 million, the majority earned from the IPO of Infoseek and the acquisition of Frame Technology.[2]
Leading up to the COVID-19 era, Kirsch was working on developing central bank digital currency (CBDC) infrastructure services through M10, where he served as co-founder and CEO.[3][4][5]
Activities
Philanthropy
Kirsch and his wife Michele donated to the Sierra Club Foundation in 2006 through their Steven and Michele Kirsch Foundation.[6] The couple is listed on the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's 2012 honor roll of donors.[7]
COVID-19
Early in the COVID-19 crisis, Kirsch founded the Covid-19 Early Treatment Fund (CETF) in order to fund research into repurposed drugs to treat the illness. Donors to the CETF include David Baszucki (CEO of Roblox), Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce), Vint Cerf, Elon Musk (through the Musk Foundation), the Skoll Foundation and Vanguard.[8]
Kirsch appeared with Robert Malone on Bret Weinstein's Dark Horse podcast, discussing COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines.[9]
Censorship
Kirsch was summarily removed from Twitter in November 2021 after posting about prions and COVID-19 jabs.[10] He was reinstated following Elon Musk's takeover of the platform.
