Adam Curry Web and MTV.com
Curry registered the previously unclaimed domain name “mtv.com” in 1993 with the intention of becoming MTV’s unofficial new Internet voice. Although his MTV Networks bosses approved of the choice at the time, MTV sued Curry for the domain name when he departed to start his own web-portal design and hosting company, OnRamp Inc.
OnRamp grew to 4,000 employees before being sold to Think New Ideas Inc., another company he co-founded, where he served as Chief Technology Officer. During the Internet’s “bubble” time in 1996, the company went public on NASDAQ under the ticker code THNK. Before being incorporated into Answerthink Inc. in a later merger, it had grown to approximately 7,400 workers with offices in seven countries.
Curry and Ron Bloom co-founded PodShow, a video-sharing website that was later renamed Mevio, in 2005. In May 2008, Mevio claimed to have 9 million unique visitors. It offers “brand-safe” content to advertisers on a large scale. In July 2008, it raised a third round of $15 million, bringing the total amount raised since its founding to more than $38 million. Mevio was then renamed Bitesize Entertainment and, finally, BiteSizeTV, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
