Many Internet companies are struggling. I was on three other public company boards, including being co-chairman of MessageMedia with Jerry Poch, who was Len’s partner in their previous company (AmeriData Technologies – which had bought my first company – Feld Technologies – in 1993). It’s the summer of 2001.

Soon every other VC was using the phrase to justify the reckless “get big fast” strategies of dot-com startups during the Internet Bubble. In fact, a 1993 paper by Peter N.

I started my first business in 1993, right in the middle of the recession, because I didn’t know any better. In 2000, the Internet bubble burst. I didn’t really see how it would affect me. We raised a lifetime grand total of $100,000 for that business in the form of advance payment from early customers.

In the mid 1990s I knew that the internet was a game-changing technology. In 1997 I founded an internet company named Perficient, and it went public in 1999.

By 1987 I was regularly using faxes and Federal Express (the only overnight mail I was aware of), but a mobile phone and email didn’t really show up until around 1993 for me. The web appeared in 1994 and a completely different method of communication started its long march into integrating in our universe.

This was in 1993, and I was the chief marketing officer at Frito-Lay North America. I personally bought the citibank.com URL and introduced the first internet-based online banking.
