Consumer Internet investing seems to have split off from traditional Venture Capital, and is creating a new category of VC’s: Lean VC’s. The Rise of the “Lean VC’s” – Consumer Internet Gets Funded.

The world of building profitable startups as the primary goal of Venture Capital would end in 1995. The IPO Bubble – August 1995 – March 2000 In August 1995 Netscape went public, and the world of start ups turned upside down. Perhaps in direct proportion to the number of “freemium” and “eyeballs” web deals funded.)

In 1995 the company went public and overnight I became the CEO of a public company.

Before my partner Marc Andreessen and his friends at the University of Illinois invented the browser in 1993, most people thought only scientists and researchers would use the Internet. The Internet was thought to be too arcane, insecure and slow to meet real business needs. The implications of the propriety vision were not good.

I ask you: how did we get to this stage of history on the Web if Sales has taken such a backseat to Product? Make sales or die. It’s revenue. Revenue comes from sales.
