It was a really exciting time.
My name is Reid Fahs.
I have a little frog in my throat today.
And from October of 1999 through early 2001, I was the CEO of First Tuesday.
There was a feeling of techno-optimism, a feeling that the world was going to be better because of the internet, that it was going to democratise all sorts of things.
And what people were saying was, you at First Tuesday control the most valuable eyeballs on the planet.
So we are out trying to raise money.
A lot of the funds who were interested in us had American arms that were saying, guys, don't you get it?
This is over.
The board sat there and said, wow, I put in $40,000 a year and a half ago and now I'm being offered a million plus dollars in return.
