          She Wrote The Book On Internet Investing: Ruthann Quindlen, WG’ 83

          Ruthann Quindlen was there before the tech boom started—and she was there to chronicle those heady days.

          The daughter of an Air Force officer raised in Louisiana, Quindlen found her first fulltime job as an investment banker at Alex Brown & Sons.

          She carved out a niche in the 1980s as the first dedicated personal computer analyst for a big investment bank.

          Later a managing director at Alex Brown, she guided the IPOs of the most prominent names in the personal computer software business—Microsoft, Broderbund, America Online, Borland, Electronic Arts, and McAfee Associates.

          In 1993, she signed on with Institutional Venture Partners, or IVP, an early-stage venture- capital firm based in Menlo Park, CA.

          Again breaking ground as one of the few women to become a technology partner in a top-tier venture capital firm, her mantra was to get the “faster, better, cheaper” companies, as she told the New York Times.
