OJ - re CNRS - Is this the beginning? - CMGI PLACES FIRST B2B INVESTMENT CMGI @Ventures contributed $8 million in a $10.5-million financing round for FoodBuy.com, its first investment of its billion-dollar B2B fund. FoodBuy.com is focused on becoming the business portal for the food-service industry, offering a wide variety of services to the $150-billion U.S. food-service market. We believe CMGI's B2B fund could be one of the company's focus points for 2000. CMGI could capitalize on its venture funding expertise, which has already helped build successful B2B companies such as Chemdex, Silknet and BizBuyer.com. We believe we are only seeing the beginning of CMGI's influence in the Internet community. This influence is important, in part, given the increasingly competitive nature of the venture community-it is growing harder to get money into good deals, highlighting the importance of having a widespread network of contacts and allies.
