 PROFILE
PeoplePC picks, you guessed it, PCs for people. The company sells three-year memberships for about $25 a month and in return, customers receive a name-brand computer (replaced every three years) with warranty, Internet access, and access to its buyer's club, which offers discounts for other businesses (such as E*TRADE and BUY.COM). The company also sells memberships just to its buyer's club and has a program that sells products to businesses' employees. Wholesale distributor Ingram Micro supplies and distributes PeoplePC's computer products and processes its orders. Formed in late 1999, PeoplePC is about 31%-owned by SOFTBANK and its affiliates; co-founder, chairman, and CEO Nick Grouf owns about 18%.
