Where Are They Now - Internet Travel Network Founder Dan Whaley
The Wall Street Journal carries the story about the sale, on eBay, of a waterfront San Mateo home for $1.2M (great bargain!). For the uninitiated, San Mateo is a lame Silicon Valley suburb. The home sale got 152 bids in 10 days. Not only did the seller save on sales commissions, but he says local brokers priced the home at just $1M.
The seller is Dan Whaley, 36, who founded the Internet Travel Network, among the first travel services on the Net way, way back in 1995. The company became GetThere.com and then Sabre, owner of Travelocity, bought it out in 2000 for $757M. We suspect that Sabre regrets the purchase, but Whaley does not.
Whaley is no longer part of the venture. He plans to get a life and get out of the Peninsula by moving to San Francisco.
