During the Internet foam, about 1000 Internet companies had IPO. Most companies did not survive in the next 20 years, but a few that survived eventually became giants: -Nvidia (IPO in 1999) -Amazon (IPO in 1997) -Google (IPO in 2004, shortly after the foam burst) By continuously increasing revenue and market share, and achieving compound value within a decade, each company has brought 1000 times returns to early investors.
