Fond memories of ‘eTime Capital Inc’.
Alternative Title:
‘Nice-guy George, the investor sponsored CEO, looks on as specious founders gorge on VC cash.’
I wonder where they are now?
eTime Capital, a 1999 startup, burned through ~$40m of cash before smacking itself into the side of a mountain. The mission was grand, ocean boilingly grand: ‘Optimization of the financial supply chain’. And indeed some of the technology that was built was advanced for its time… but the company had issues… many… many… issues.
This picture actually appeared in Upside magazine in 2000. Subsequently Upside took a bit of a beating themselves, going under shortly thereafter.
Bizarrely the eTime Intranet lives on.
