Plaxo

Plaxo appears in Ron Conway on Napster, Founder Relationships, and SV Angel’s Crisis Work as Sean Parker’s post-Napster online-address-book company. Ron Conway describes the company as using viral marketing and says he helped sell it to Comcast, accidentally asking for more money than Parker intended and having the buyer accept.

The Plaxo story matters because it keeps Parker inside Conway’s founder-support network before Parker introduced Conway to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. In the source, Plaxo is not a full product-history case; it is a bridge between Napster-era founder trust, later social-networking company formation, and Founder Friendly Investor Support.
