definite dream come true for Graham Graham- all was like occurring as to what they originally intended. Yahoo! had adapted to their work philosophy since they were of the t same breedthey had very similar backgrounds and their perspectives on businesses were aligned. The truth of the matter on the acquisition is that it was a definite win win-win win situation, for Graham had satisfied his personal aspiration and Yahoo had made llarge arge profits because of the software, and it leads to the convenience of the general customer customer- a common goal of both involved parties. 3.] Fred Egan saves the day! There was a point wherein Viaweb would have almost lost an angel investor. This transpired soon after Rtm’s departure towards California, and Graham had to explain it to investors as a personal career decision. The angel investor demanded that in order for his next investing to proceed, the company should manage to hire a business associate, mor more e preferably a CEO. It was a prerogative Graham had to comply with, as he is in the threshold of losing funding from the angel investor. And to another very fortunate start start-up story turning-point, point, a major figure came forth into the tale to save the hopes o off Graham. It was definitely pure luck that played the part on this scenario, for Fred Egan was the one who searched for Viaweb instead of the other around. Not only that, the fortunate angle of this is that Egan was the most suitable character for the position tion because of his inherent attitude towards their business, uncharacteristic of the stereotype Graham has with business people. With Egan, Graham and his technical people had the full freedom to concentrate on their specializationspecialization the technical dimension, n, the software itself whilst Egan was tuning in to his stuff stuff- the business aspect. Egan didn’t intrude what Graham and his people were focusing on, he was there to mind his own stuff, and he did it pretty well. Graham had huge respects for Egan, and the latter l was attributed to a major part of the success of Viaweb itself as an established start-up start company.
