Very good and interesting quesion Dave. I’m wondering if you have considered selling rentvine.com and take a little break?

I also wonder at the time of the sale of rentcliks.com, if David considered or asked for some equity stake in the new company?

It often seems that once the founders leave the company, new management rarely have the same passion to grow the business to its full potential.

Hi Ying,

We didn’t ask for any equity. Primedia is a publicly traded company, and that just wasn’t an option. You make a good point about lack of passion. Anyone that is afraid of a big company should reconsider. They almost never have the drive that a smaller, entrepreneurial company does and they are not capable of innovation.

Dave,
I agree with you. Big companies never innovate, they purchase innovations from small entrepreneurs, change a small detail put their name , logo and copyright notice on it and resell it!
