Google, Sun Microsystems, Netscape, & Friendster
Filters: Former management included, Pendants dropped

This is the Management Map for the combined network of four companies - Netscape, Google, Friendster, and Sun Microsystems. You can see the Target Nodes in the network; they are the enlarged rectangles with the thick borders. This map shows the management team interlock in the combined network of these four companies. Former management relationships are included, and the pendants have been dropped to allow you to focus on the core of this network.
It is interesting to look at this network as an exodus from Netscape, and where their management team escaped to. Further research is needed (on LinkSV.com) to get into the details of the directions of all of these migrations, and what happened when, but it is clear that even after Netscape was acquired the former management team there continued on to have influence in the valley. Furthermore it seems that KnowNow and Vontu received a great deal of expertise from former Netscape personnel.
