We needed improvements in video compression and in TCP/IP – the underlying protocol that essentially runs the Internet. The same spreadsheet also predicted we’d see a music downloading service in 1999 or 2000. Napster arrived in June, 1999. Nine years later, in February 2005, YouTube arrived.

In 1999, we sold that business and I started angel investing. In 2000, the Internet bubble burst. Other startups will fail, and you can acquire their talent, their IP, their customer bases for cheap. I didn’t really see how it would affect me. By 2002 the NASDAQ had fallen by nearly 80%. Starting a tech company after this?

The original company name was Scene on TV (going back to 1999), and I expanded into movies, and the name was also confusing to people (Scene instead of Seen).

We had many term sheets (it was 1999 and we had a pulse) and we were deciding which one to take. It was December 1999. We moved into the legal process and final due diligence in January and February of 2000.
