We worked on a business plan in my office for six months with the founder Pradeep Sindhu.
Why?
Because the world was saying the internet would be a protocol called ATM, asynchronous transfer mode.
So every major company
had given up on T C C I P for the public internet.
And we're only gonna use ATM because the telcos were specifying ATM.
I talked to the senior management of almost every telco.
And every single one said to me they wouldn't use TCP IP.
I talked to the CT of Cisco, who said they have no plans to ever do TCP IP above a hundred and fifty five megabits, which is my home service to d uh it's far below my home service for a public router.
But I looked at the data.
TCPIP usage had been climbing.
And I said this will scale.
And every expert is wrong in the field.
And we should come back to that if you remember, uh this notion of experts.
And and the data said T C P IP wasn't exponential and we were the knee of the near the knee of the curve.
Uh so fast forward to today, and by the way, I'd invested in T C P IP in it was a core part of what Sun did in nineteen eighty two.
And this was fourteen years later, you see the exponential in TCPIP as a communications medium.
And and we bet heavily.
By the way, we made seven billion dollars on a three million dollar investment when almost no venture investment.
ever made even a billion.
