"Sometimes I wish I was back in that garage..."

Jump to: Preface, Text, or Images


Matt Ray, Jean-Pierre Louis, and Coté scheme on getting free drinks at FX-XMAS99

Preface

I worked at VRCO-Mesa Internet Systems-Mesa-cum-FundsXpress from about 1995 to May 2000--since pre-inception--long enough to build up a few pages of junk from there. Most of these are, admitly, not up-to-date to current FundsXpress culture, but never mind that: it's still a fine place... even if it's not a garage anymore.

Epilogue

Burns built his company around the wizardry of his son and the boy's high school friends, who figured out how to build an Internet platform with the electronic armor necessary to foil hackers and crackers interested in sensitive financial data.

"You have to let these gifted kids become adults at about 12," Burns said. "They have to have the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Look at Einstein, look at Mozart, look at Beethoven and when they did their best life work -- young. That's when a kid still has the juice and hasn't been knocked down by life." >>

. . .

The company, founded in 1996, was one of the best-funded startups in Austin's tech boom. Investors have poured $75 million into the company since 2000. >>
