Congratulations.
They live in Palo Alto.
But in college, Wood founded his first company, AW Software.
AW Software.
What do you think the AW stands for?
He's putting his name on the line.
On the line.
Andrew Wood Software.
Oh, you did?
Wait, really?
So he was selling computer programs.
He founded Sunrise Industries while studying engineering, developing software for the Amiga, the original Amiga system.
After graduating, he founded his, I think this is his third company, and it's called Sunrise Version 2.
Wow.
Later in 1995, he launched another company, iBand.
And iBand sold to Macromedia for $36 million in 95.
That's a lot of money.
And Macromedia, of course, was the makers of Adobe Flash.
He left in 97, after two years, to launch Replay TV, which was a digital video recorder DVR.
You'd have something coming in over the antenna and you would be able to record it and watch it later, much like TiVo.
