TC50 Backstage: Is Jim Lanzone a Jerk?
September 14, 2009 at 18:13 PM EDT
So former Ask.com CEO Jim Lanzone is starting a new company, Clicker . It’s like a TV guide for online video, and the experts named it as one of their favorite companies they saw today. I like Lanzone, but I had to ask: Does a company with a well-known CEO and $8 million already in the bank really need to win our $50,000 prize? His answer and more about why he’s jumping back into the start-up fray and his "divorce" from Barry Diller on the video clip on the jump.
