IPass, provider of Internet connectivity services, went public today at $14/share nine years after it's founding. Massive congratulations to my brother Chris Lynch who was the first employee. A veteran of several technology start ups myself, I know how critical the first hire is in setting the tone, energy and momentum for the company's first few years. Apparently, Chris did his job well. Also a Happy Birthday to Chris Moore today, IPass' founder. I know what song they'll be playing a his birthday party tonight.....Prince's 1982 classic, 1999!
