The largest stakeholder of Netscape’s equity was Jim Clark, who accounted for 24%. The other primary owners were the venture capital firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, & Byers, a group of six media companies led by Adobe Systems, and Netscape’s president and CEO, James Barksdale. They held 11%, 11%, and 10% of Netscape’s equity, respectively. The ownership shares of Netscape did not correspond to the investments made by the primary owners because the owners made their investments at different times. Jim Clark invested in Netscape first and therefore paid the least amount of money for the largest share of the firm. His second investment came at the same time as Kleiner Perkins, and at that point the price to purchase a share of Netscape had obviously increased. Clark’s total investment amounted to $3.5 million for 24% of the firm, whereas Kleiner Perkins paid $5 million for 11% of the firm. The investment made by the media companies came later, when the price of Netscape had risen even further. Therefore, the media firms purchased an aggregate 11% share of Netscape for $18 million. The final primary owner, Barksdale, was not said to have invested any capital in Netscape. However, as president and CEO, it can be assumed that he was offered a 10% share as an incentive to guide and motivate the company to perform well.

Webvan wasn’t making a profit, but it continued expanding. Because Webvan didn’t kill its overspending, its unprofitable markets, or elements of its original idea, (and because it failed to sufficiently research), Webvan died. (Webvan does, however live on as a case study in business schools around the world.) Webvan’s blood-sucking enemy was narcissist spending. Some people call it premature scaling.

No. Online companies are strongly associated with their domain name (google, ebay, amazon, etc.). As a result, users can be assured they are getting the real thing simply by knowing how to read a URL. Recent problems with DNS servers aside, users can be assured that if a URL reads "amazon.com", then they have reached the Amazon.com website and no other. Long- established companies, on the other hand, have to build their domain name recognition from the ground up. During this period, many users might be fooled by clever variations on the name.
