1998
1996would be too early
1999would be too late
– Marc Andreessen
"The great irony is all the ideas of the ‘90s were basically correct. They were just too early. We all thought the future would happen very quickly. But instead things crashed and burned. The ideas are really just coming true now. Timing
is everything. But it’s also the hardest thing to control."
– Nick Hanauer, the first non-family investor in Amazon.
"In 1992, I was selling pillows made by my family’s business, and the Internet was a clunky novelty.
But I saw pretty quickly, even back then, that many of my customers, the big department store chains, were already doomed. I knew that as soon as the Internet became fast and trustworthy enough—and that time wasn’t far off—people were going to shop
online like crazy."
