It was all about Starmedia back then for them. we never did hear from them, but I think one of them spoke to our class at NYU that spring. havent thought of them since those years. true story. i don't remember the trail that led me to this website…however, I remember as a senior at NYU in 1999, I worked at a startup internet company and I wanted Flatiron to consider our business.
