1999 2005 Social Network Viral 
Both Sides of the Table
MAY 23, 2012
The movie, “The Social Network” might have had more of an impact on creating future entrepreneurs than any other event of the past 5 years. LP contributions to VC firms shrunk from 2000 and by 2005-2008 had stabilized to around $30 billion per year. Thank you, Aaron Sorkin! There are 20x more consumers online.

OCTOBER 19, 2009
I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content. I am very grateful to my friend Zoli Erdos for finding this retro posting for me at web.archive.org. Page 2: What’s unique about Koral.

Online social networking is a concept still being evangelized even in Silicon Valley… Friendster is in private beta (wasn’t until Oct 2003 they received Google acquisition offer which they turned down for Kleiner/Benchmark round). This is my 2nd time trying this, first time was in 1999. link] leehower. Congrats! .
