techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-09-25 06:33:46

Ticket reseller StubHub went public on Wednesday. Although StubHub’s shares closed 6% below their IPO price of $23.50, valuing the company at over $7 billion, the public debut itself is a testament to the co-founder’s decades-long perseverance. StubHub CEO Eric Baker co-founded the company with Jeff Fluhr in 2000 while they were attending the Stanford Graduate School of Business. This was shortly after the dotcom bubble burst and NASDAQ crashed, but the pair didn’t give up. “Stupid competitors

Today I almost certainly have more retro computer magazines than you do. By my count, I now have nearly 700 issues of various computer magazines from the 70s, 80s and 90s! Just a small sample of my retro magazine collection! Looking back at the 80s, it was a great joy to get a magazine in the mail. As a young teenager
