Early life and education
Career
Occupation: business executive.5
In 1986 duPont began working for DuPont, a company the du Ponts founded in 1802. He held a number of management positions in the company over 13 years. In 1999, he left DuPont to cofound yet2.com with Phillip Stern, a U.S. patent distribution firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts. DuPont became the company's president. After a year of development the firm had raised $24 million in financing and was described by Forbes magazine as a "quasi-clearinghouse for technology developed by corporations" where both inventors and companies can post their patents for sale or lease to other firms.
In December 2002, yet2.com was acquired by Scipher, but the next year duPont reacquired it from Scipher and became its executive director.
DuPont has been director of Vianix, Speakman, Longwood Gardens Inc., Gigsky, Inc, and Bessemer Trust Delaware. In 2015, he co-founded Zip Code Wilmington.
