Raymond "Ray" King (born 1964) is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of multiple companies including AboutUs.org and Top Level Design, as well as the ICANNWiki project.

[1][2][3] In an interview with The New York Times, King said: We began thinking about what we wanted to do when we left school.

[1]The venture, which taught people how to use Apple II and IBM PCs, earned King $60,000.

"[2] King remained enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for eighteen months studying computer science before leaving in 1984 to start Semaphore Inc.,[5] a company that sold accounting, billing, and project management software to architecture and engineering firms.

The company specialized in "snapping up" expired domain names, which occurred "all the time", according to King.
