Anybody remember Hypercon? I didn’t think so.
At first I thought you meant a terminal program, but now seeing the context I’m not sure. Enlighten me?
Hypercon was a next-big-thing (who wasn’t?) Houston-based ISP that peaked out around 1999. They were truly everything satirized in the video.
I will never forget getting sucked into a “meeting” mysteriously caused by a Hypercon operative. A horde of wide-eyed salespeople (including myself) from an assortment of unrelated companies showed up for no apparent reason. Nobody had a clue why we were there or what was supposed to be happening- not even Hypercon. A hilariously awkward, pointless, and protracted business card exchange ensued before each of us found a way to quasi-politely sneak out of the building.
Hypercon’s CEO was the brother of a good friend of mine and a Supreme Wizard of Techno-Corporate Gibberish.
And he’s still around…..”I am a serial/parallel entrepreneur with a strategic focus with broad experience in all aspects of starting, operating and exiting the business. I focus on value creation, sustainable growth, competitive advantage and innovation through a philosophy of technology enablement, driving growth through referral marketing, customer satisfaction through intellectual capital leadership and employee esprit de corps, cost efficiency, and strategic leadership. I also possess significant experience with corporate formation, capital structuring, private equity finance planning and private placement memoranda creation.”
