Bill Townsend
I am an entrepreneur who helped build several global companies, most notably search engine Lycos, social networking pioneer sixdegrees.com, whose intellectual property formed the basis of LinkedIn, GeoCities (sold to Yahoo!) and Deja.com (sold to Google and ebay). I am the author of "Yes You Can!", a motivational speaker and guest lecturer at conferences and universities worldwide. I founded Amati Foundation in 2000 to help talented musicians acquire the instruments they need.
