Steve Case Q&A

In the February issue of Portfolio magazine, I have a Q&A I did with Steve Case, the guy who built AOL and now runs Revolution.

The interview came more than 13 years after the first time I did a one-on-one with him, for my 1995 book Megamedia Shakeout. Astoundingly, as I noted in the book, at the time of our interview AOL was the ONLY independent, publicly-traded on-line company. How weird is that?

The circumstances of the interview was quite different, too. I described our interview site as Case's "cramped and inglorious office at AOL's Vienna, Virginia, headquarters. He sits in one chair at a tiny round conference table and throws his legs over the chair next to him." Case at the time was 35.
