A few names from Upside's elite 100..... Co-founder, President and CEO, Broadcom Corp. The chip company that Nicholas founded with Henry Samueli has cornered the lion's share of the market for the semiconductors that permeate digital settop boxes, cable modems, Ethernet networking gear, digital broadcast satellite equipment and digital subscriber line (DSL) modems. When Broadcom went public on April 17, its stock opened at $24 a share and shot as high as $70 before closing that day at $53.63. Not bad for a chip company in the midst of a semiconductor downturn, not to mention one that's still waiting for its main market to catch up to it. But it was just another feather in the cap of the duo who founded PairGain Technologies Inc. and the guy who invented high-bit-rate DSL--the technology used to install T1 lines that has become the bread and butter of PairGain.--K.A. Also Nominated: Close, but no cigar Mike Farmwald Chromatic Research Inc. . Frank Quattrone Managing Director, Technology Group, Credit Suisse First Boston Corp. While some say Quattrone is still living off taking Amazon.com Inc. public in May 1997, we say differently. Anyone who can pull off a move like Quattrone did in 1998 must have influence somewhere. After telling the world he wouldn't leave Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (now Deutsche Bank Securities) for greener pastures, Quattrone did the unthinkable: He left Deutsche with just about his entire technology team in tow and settled in at CSFB. And he didn't even get sued.--J.E.
