Were they investing in science in 2000? (Honest question, I was there then but can't remember this. But given the 1.0 zeitgeist and the Razorfish parties, it's surprising I remember anything from the twelve months before March 2000.)

Applied science that played into the telecommunication space saw very large investment in y2k: Optical components, high-speed electronics, exotic wireless, that sort of thing. There were probably others, but I was monomanically focused on telecom so didn't pay much attention to anything else at the time.
- adventured 12y agoApproximately the same thing did occur during the prior two funding bubbles, ~1999/00 and ~2005/06. The one last decade was a huge clean-tech bubble. It famously hammered Kleiner Perkins' reputation on the downside, and was partially responsible for them missing out on that era of major tech startups (such as Facebook).
