Some folks are saying I won for “demographic” reasons.
1st of all, that’s false. We won w/voters of all kinds.
2nd, here’s my 1st pair of campaign shoes. I knocked doors until rainwater came through my soles.
Respect the hustle. We won bc we out-worked the competition. Period.

1/ Mid 90s internet was a new tech with great potential. Led to random valuation models like $/click. Valuations of dotcom companies went through the roof in '97-99 & then crashed in '00-01. Post that it took ~10+yrs for business models to emerge around the internet technology
