It\u2019s a fascinating history of a business failure. This was a really big and expensive idea for a new food delivery business and the financial backers were the \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d &#8211; <\/span><b>Benchmark Capital, Sequoia Capital, Borders, E-Trade, Yahoo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Webvan had a fleet of these for a while:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-813\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1324210-730x328.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1324210-730x328.jpg 730w, https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1324210-730x328-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this story ended with a bankruptcy. I remember the Webvan bust really well because this was a Bay Area company and I was working in San Francisco at the time. It was a crazy time back then in the late 90\u2019s just before the tech stock bubble popped. Webvan was a darling of the tech stock boom and a villain of the tech crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I bring up Webvan because the focus of this week\u2019s blog is <\/span><b>protecting your business<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. My colleague Brad Barth is an expert in estate and asset protection planning and he created a brand new business content video. This new short video deals with a critically important component of estate planning that every business owner needs to understand. Especially if there are multiple owners involved in the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And please don&#8217;t ever hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on the content of this blog or on any other component of your <\/span><b>estate, business &amp; asset protection planning.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>So with that, I hope you take a minute to listen to Brad\u2019s video &#8211; please click below.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hvHkykOlG80\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-833\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wealth-Protector-T.V.-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"439\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wealth-Protector-T.V.-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wealth-Protector-T.V.-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wealth-Protector-T.V.-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Wealth-Protector-T.V.-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Paul Hitchcock<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Director of Business Development<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>BarthCalderon, LLP<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>714-704-4828<\/b><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11,13,12],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barthattorneys.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
