We B spaced out--of the dollars but Russell moved on in style:
Marchex is a privately held company founded in January of 2003. Two of Marchex’s founders, Russell C. Horowitz and John Keister, founded Go2Net (NASDAQ: GNET) in 1996. They grew Go2Net from a two-person startup into a highly-profitable, publicly-traded Internet company with more than 500 employees and business units throughout the United States. Horowitz’s business methodologies and consolidation strategies are recognized as a model in the technology and Internet industries. In June 1999, Fortune featured Horowitz and Go2Net in an article, stating, "others who want to participate in the Web merger frenzy have to play by rules set by [Horowitz] and other aggressive acquirers."
