Meet VerticalNet

VerticalNet was a 1990s-era business-to-business services portal developed in suburban Philadelphia. It is a memorable example of the fervor around the dot com bubble, including its $12 billion valuation in 2000 without established revenue.

The firm was founded in 1995 in Horsham by Michael Hagan and Michael McNulty and received early investment from the Internet Capital Group.

The company has since rebranded to VertMarkets and still maintains B2B publishing and services.
