i think b2b is the #1 place to be for 2000, as Henry Blodget stated it is just getting started, with a 25 billion market cap going to 500 billion, here are two that have made my radar list this weekend, icge appears to be the cmgi of the space, holding investments in tradex (who arriba just bought), vert,bway and 45 or so other private companies who have yet to be spun off for public valuations, it looks to be like a pure b2b fund play, a must core holding, eds just said they were going to raise 1.5 billion in venture capital for b2b investments, dont know anything about thier management, but if they could execute, that could be big long term, here is something i copied from another thread on them
PLANO, Texas, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ - Global information technology services leader EDS (NYSE: EDS - news) increased its commitment today to Internet and business-to-business (B2B) innovation with the announcement of its plans to form EDS - A.T. Kearney Ventures. This new e-business fund will focus its investments on Internet and B2B companies over five years. When fully funded at $1.5 billion, it will be one of the largest corporate venture funds of its kind and will enable EDS to take equity positions in its Internet-based clients, primarily those that are either consulting clients or alliance partners.

EDS also announced the fund's first investments: EDS CoNext(TM) and Tradex Technologies, Inc. Plans call for half of the seed money for the new unit will be committed by EDS in the next five years. The other half will be funded by others, including clients and select private equity funds.>>

Pet the baby Gorrillas , while you still can... LOL!
