Comments from Bill Lee, CEO & co-founder:

Eric Hahn was one of the key reasons for RemarQ's success. From the company's inception to its acquisition, he provided insights, contacts, and advice. He was a lightning rod for recruiting and helped RemarQ build a world-class engineering and marketing team. Moreover, Eric rolled up his sleeves and became an invaluable resource to our marketing and engineering teams whenever they needed him. He was also instrumental in aiding the company secure two rounds of funding with fantastic terms. By getting Eric on our Board of Directors, we gained a tremendous asset since he was so knowledgeable about the internet industry. I believe the most important thing about working with Eric is that we had a fantastic time and it was truly enjoyable spending time with him.

Comments from Craig Wallace, co-founder:

Receiving funding from Inventures, Inc. was one of the best decisions RemarQ ever made. From that decision on, Eric Hahn became very active in creating our success.

Even before we closed our financing, Eric was at our offices giving a motivational speech to our employees. He let them know how excited he was about our service and market position. His charisma and energy flowed into our employees and left them all charged and ready for the tough journey ahead. He was very realistic and let everyone know that we had a tough battle ahead – but also let them know it was a battle that we could win if we executed properly. All the employees quickly became more motivated and saw Eric as an approachable mentor and great leader.

Eric drew upon his friends and business contacts to help RemarQ get key employees and business relationships. From early on, Eric used his connections to find extraordinary people who were a great fit with our existing employees. The resulting team was able to stick together through tough challenges and deadlines. Once we refined our service, Eric initiated meetings that allowed us to put together business deals that lead to our success. Eric really enjoys making companies successful. His excitement and enthusiasm is very contagious and makes him a pleasure to work with. He contributed much more of his own time than anyone expected. There was no task to large or to small -- if he was the best person to do the job he would do it far beyond expectations. Eric was also a great board member who used his vast experience and intelligence to guide RemarQ to success. His good advice and opinions were backed by experience and facts from previous ventures. When he is undecided on an issue he puts forth as much useful information as possible to help everyone make an intelligent, informed decision. He also made our board meetings more productive by keeping everyone focused on the most important issues. When making decisions he always put the good of the company and employees ahead of his own interests – his integrity is impeccable.

I highly recommend Eric Hahn and Inventures!
