Through our venture capital arm we extend additional value to our shareholders and Venture Fund investors by investing in early stage vertical content Internet properties that are focused often on the business-to-business market. We primarily serve as a minority investor with equity investments often ranging from $250,000 to $750,000. internet.com Venture Fund I LLC, which was formed in April 1999, presently consists of nine investments. internet.com Venture Fund II LLC, which was formed in November 1999, is currently making investments. We seek to maximize capital appreciation through investments in Internet-related companies that promote community and commerce through vertically focused content and information. Our investments will be concentrated in companies, which have adopted a vertical approach. In this context, "vertical" means focusing on a specific subject or information area, such as finance, sports, health, art, etc. This concept is similar to the successful practice in the magazine and newsletter publishing industry of tailoring a publication to a particular subject or subject area, rather than providing broad coverage of a variety of subjects. Since 1995 we have been researching, designing and building the network of Internet content Web sites and related Internet media properties known collectively as "internet.com," which is one of the foremost examples of Web site verticality, focusing its content, products and services on the needs of Internet professionals. http://www.internet.comvc.com/
