Here are a few examples from my first company, Feld Technologies (1987 – 1993). He and I lost touch over the years (I’m sure he was glad to be rid of us) until I had breakfast with him in Boulder in 1997 when he was first looking at investing in Rally Software. And it’s unlikely that The Struggle will kill us.
