It takes guts to lose money. Particularly when it's other peoples. Especially when it adds up to $4 billion.
That is roughly the sum the 13 internet entrepreneurs featured in this book lost in 1999. Maybe the pain is eased by the knowledge that despite these hefty losses, the 12 companies had a combined market capitalization of $170bn, giving the 13 entrepreneurs a combined wealth of more than $35bn.
The people in this book represent the leading managers in the Internet industry. They are quizzed about their strategies, their motivations and their ambitions at this crucial point in the evolution of the new medium.
