Comment on All-time greatest failed Internet startup

Anyone remember BroadVision? (shudder!)

For a time there, I worked for UNext, an online University who decided that it was not enough that their site was powered by Broadvision (using highpriced broadvision consultants), but that their Intranet needed to run on broadvision as well. Oh swell!!

On top of that, they decided to contract those consultants straight out of Broadvision Inc itself, at over $300 an hour.

The CEO drove one of the $100k Mercedes Jeep type SUVs, imported ofcourse.

Not soon after, I left Chicago to go back to the Valley. And they ran out of money soon after.
