Steve Case: AOL
Steve Case is one of America’s best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs and a pioneer in making the Internet part of everyday life.
Steve’s entrepreneurial career began in 1985 when he co-founded America Online (AOL). Under Steve’s leadership, AOL became the world’s largest and most valuable Internet company, helping to drive the worldwide adoption of a medium that has transformed business and society. AOL was the first Internet company to go public, and in 2000, Steve negotiated the largest merger in business history, bringing together AOL and Time Warner in a transaction valued at $350 billion. To facilitate the merger, Steve agreed to step down as CEO when the merger closed.
Following his departure from AOL, Steve founded Revolution, a DC-based investment firm with three funds that support the startup life cycle at every stage while focusing on backing companies based outside of Silicon Valley.
