Truly reminds me of ‘99. Dom Perignon, expensive cocktails, weed, private jet flights, pointless travels to warm beach retreats for meetings, yacht parties etc. I am a cynic but our CFO at the time was even more. We demanded upfront payments for projects and enjoyed the lifestyle as long as we did not pay for it as it made no sense (most of these companies had nothing; not even a mildly viable idea). The companies that remained standing after the bubble (because mainly they were bought or incubated by big banks like ING during) remained our clients for a long time. The rest all died a very quick death in 2001.
