About DFJ Areas of Interest Investment Philosophy Investment LPs ... News : General Tim Draper the proud "father" of Skype and vSkype Jun 20, 2005 Skype Journal It was Fathers' Day around much of the world yesterday. The present: vSkype recieved was purely informational, but for them it was an exciting day. Five days after launching their new video offering: 272,148 downloads. 1.6 million minutes served. I believe this to be the fastest adoption rate for a Skype plug-in. I interviewed the person I would dub the father of both Skype and vSkype, Mr. Venture Capitalist himself, Tim Draper of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. I posed questions for Tim in the following categories: The Skype Company The market for video The Skype Software Development Community The risks for Skype vSkype Here is what Tim had to say... The Skype Company Is Skype a Global Telecom or secretly a media company in the making? A media company where calls are free; but content is a revenue generator? I hadn't thought of the media angle myself, maybe the founders have. For now, it is a communications platform. I think the biggest opportunity here is in collaborating with companies who want to do add-ons. What are the challenges for Skype in Asia?
