 PROFILE
Investing in the Internet wasn't a hum-dinger of a deal for Hummer Winblad Venture Partners. The venture capital firm, founded in 1989 by John Hummer and Ann Winblad to invest in software firms, broadened its scope to include Internet startups and sunk several million dollars into dot-coms during the boom -- and is now paying the price. Investments have included such winners as screen saver developer Berkeley Systems and such failures as pet supply retailer Pets.com and real estate site Homes.com. Hummer Winblad is also an investor in Napster, the controversial music exchange. Since the Internet bubble burst, the firm has shifted its investment focus back to software companies.
