Luckily, I have 2 portfolio companies that I respectively invested in during 1999 and 2000 which survived the nuclear winter and are having an opportunity to contribute to this innovation by helping make search better and easier for users. Either way, it is great to see Moreover helping bring news and RSS to the masses via these deals.

With that implicit assumption, startups hire a VP of Sales with a great rolodex and call on established mainstream companies while marketing creates a brand and buzz to create demand and drive it into the sales channel (web, direct salesforce, etc.) This was possible because in 2000, Donna and Handspring were in an Existing Market.

Web technologies are no different; the syndication formats RSS and Atom were the subject of a bitter format war starting around the year 2000.

What I can say is that Moreover was a pioneer in the early use of weblogs via newsblogger, news search, and content syndication via XML and RSS. That being said, we had to make some choices when the economy cratered in 2000 and sometimes you can be too early to market before people are fully ready for what you have.

What Apple proved, and what I suspect is the issue with web content, is that monetization was a product problem. I never would have paid for music back in 1999 or 2000 when I was sporting my 64mb Creative Nomad, powered completely ilegally by Napster. The same absolutely can't be said for web content. It can’t be that.

Let’s compare the difference between a 50% retention rate and a 75% retention rate: At a 50% retention rate: LTV = 1/(1-0.5) * $1 * 1000 = $2000 At a 75% retention rate: LTV = 1/(1-0.75) * $1 * 1000 = $4000 This means that in this case, by increasing your retention rate by half (relatively speaking), you actually DOUBLE your revenue.
