1999 India Internet Partner 
Both Sides of the Table

By 1999 we had grown into the largest independent consulting firm in the world. By 1999 it seemed like everybody was growing, though. Increasingly it became difficult to tell any system integration company apart and there was a whole new breed of competitors in the market helping companies build Internet businesses.

That is when no customers wanted to work with Internet startups because we as an industry had burned so many customers. I was paid less in salary in 2004 than I was paid at the job I quit in 1999 (a job I had held 8+ years). I knew my partners for 8 years before joining GRP. The things you learn in tough environments.

Mine started this way … I started my first company in the “go-go years&# of the Internet: 1999. We raised a seed round of capital in 1999 and our first venture capital round was the first week of March 2000 (e.g. We were based in London. a few days before the wheels came off of the market).

After spending time in Silicon Valley (from 1999-2003), Boston, London and Chicago, I moved back to NYC in 2004 and have been fortunate to witness the technology and startup growth for the past 10+ years. Just in the past year, a Babson study pointed out that funds with female partners were 3x + more likely to invest in female led companies.

Three years after that, I was fortunate enough to find a firm, Land Carroll & Blair, with a same client-oriented mentality and partnered with them. After creating many successful start-ups- from internet fashion companies to home market businesses- I spent several years researching a category that intrigued me from a health-standpoint.
