I’ve been involved in Return Path as an investor since 2001 when Return Path and Veripost merged as part of a funding done by Sutter Hill (Greg Sands), Flatiron Partners (Fred Wilson), and Mobius Venture Capital (me). We’ve done two together – New York and Idaho.

From 1996 to 2001, I spent a lot of time with Len in New York, where Interliant was headquartered. When it’s safe to travel to New York again, know that Frank, Bruce, Jenny, and I will be having dinner at Cellini’s together with a place set for you. Len – I love you.

A: After I became depressed for the second time, in my mid-30s — in 2001 just after Sept. The last three months of 2001 were awful for me after an 18-month stretch from the peak of the Internet bubble — spring 2000 through Sept. I was in New York City after a red-eye from San Francisco, landing at 6 a.m.

My whole world blew up in 2001. I was in New York for it, having taken a redeye the night before from San Francisco. I flew to the bay area often (where everyone else was located) but focused most of my energy on the boards I was on and the investments I’d made.

It’s the summer of 2001. I’m sitting at the breakfast table at Len Fassler’s house in Harrison, New York drinking a cup of coffee and chewing on a bagel. By breakfast in the summer of 2001, the stock was trading under $1 / share. The NASDAQ peak is in the rear view mirror. Many Internet companies are struggling.

Other days two or three new demons appear and I can only deal with one of them so the others hang around. I learned how to deal with this in 2001. By about June I realized that every single day of 2001 had been worse than the previous day. Sometimes it takes me a few days to get ready for this so the demons back up.
