SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
With fewer than 10 employees but almost $2-billion dollars in the bank, they plan on jumping right in. It’s the antithesis of the Lean Startup. Most entrepreneurs today don’t remember the Dot-Com bubble of 1995 or the Dot-Com crash that followed in 2000. The Rise of the Lean Startup. And it may work. Dot Com Boom to Bust.

The Golden Age (1970 – 1995): Build a growing business with a consistently profitable track record (after at least 5 quarters,) and go public when it’s time. Lean Startups/Back to Basics (2000-2010): No IPO’s, limited VC cash, lack of confidence and funding fuels “lean startup” era with limited M&A and even less IPO activity.
