We can collaborate with a Netscape employee or partner who's halfway around the world. We can distribute information and software to customers and shareholders, and get their feedback.

It was something of a personal challenge for me to come up with a business suitable for the Internet world and the Internet age.

I've been managing Internet businesses since 1999. That's 12 years of being in the tornado, and it's pretty exhausting. I'll be looking at the next challenge, but in terms of operating an Internet business, I've scratched that itch very well.

As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web.

See, what we were going to do was say, the Internet is this great business strategy tool.

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.

I loved Internet businesses, having built and sold one. And I loved the financial business, despite the fact that it was almost all a scam.

I started one of the first online video companies way back in 2003.

When I started Netscape I was brand new out of college and all the aspects of building a business, like balance sheets and hiring people, were new to me.

I started off with a company, InfoSpace, with my own funding. The company was listed among the most successful companies and I went on to start Intelius and Moon Express. Now, I focus my time on using the skills of an entrepreneur to solve many of the grand challenges facing us in the areas of education, healthcare, clean water and energy.
