Everdream… that you’d ring the NASDAQ opening bell?
Congrats to the Rive brothers for their public debut yesterday.
We first met them in April 1999, and invested in their first company Everdream. When I joined the board, the brothers sold IT services door to door by skateboard in Santa Cruz, and they relocated to a Redwood City loft, a few blocks from our office. This is what they looked like then.
Lyndon, Peter and Russell Rive built a great business solving the IT headaches of small businesses, while playing indoor ultimate Frisbee in the open bays at their Fremont HQ. Eventually the company was sold to Dell, providing the capital that their cousin Elon needed to save Tesla in darkest December of the financial crisis of 2008.
Please join me in lifting a glass to the Rive brothers and the American dream. We are so proud of you.
