Myth #3: I need a partner. It’s a common belief that having a partner allows a company to become more successful because the duo can feed off each others’ ideas and make them better. Partners can not only feed off each other, but they will help bolster one another when the going gets tough. Really big. Filo and Yang.

I went pretty deeply in debt, you know, back in 19, late 1989 to about 1992 when I first discovered marketing. And I have people that are already in relationships and married that use the process and it improves the relationship that they have with their existing partner. I lived off credit cards.

I go to the front of the room, sit down, and start describing how in 1992, a small group of us got together in Burlington, Vermont and came up with the idea of the Montana future, where no one would want to live in big cities anymore so everyone would migrate to the west, set themselves up on big pieces of land, and work from their houses.

Two companies I helped start in 1992, DCTM and Grand Junction Networks both became Stanford business school cases and very valuable, successful companies. My two best partners went off to start Benchmark Capital, very successful to this day, so my firm was going to blow up. I was on the way to my lifetime IRR of 90%.

In order to identify good joint venture (JV) partners, you want to ask yourself, Who else has relationships with the types of people I want as customers or clients? For example, realtors are a natural JV partner for mortgage brokers. Financial advisors and estate-planning lawyers make obvious sense.

Part of the problem was that the company bought into its own hype, but the bigger sin was that Pets.com’s owners—Hummer Winblad Venture Partners—ignored the fundamentals. New Coke was rebranded Coca-Cola II in 1992. And…the company was out of business later that year. What Went Wrong? By 2002, New Coke was dead. What Went Wrong?

I saw a business plan for a high-end boutique for men’s underwear, catering mainly to the wives and partners and significant others of relatively well-to-do men. Then in 1992 we moved to Eugene, Oregon. It happens a lot. If they’d have called it Victor’s Secret, it would have been legal. Too local.

I mean, there was no technology.
