" Look at the uptake of new technologies like Tivo, Google, Firefox and Skype--it is no longer insane to aim for 50 million users within 18 months of launch."
"So what have we done about it so far? In the last three years Bessemer led early rounds at Gracenote, Skype, GoTV, Mforma, and Zensys (the Z-Wave home automation company). We have seeded and incubated about a half dozen consumer startups not yet announced. We increased our stake in Celtel, the largest African cellular operator, which was just acquired for $3.3 billion. Our semiconductor team led rounds at companies leading the way in mixed signal, low power processors for consumer devices, such as PA Semi and Avnera."
