| Issue, June 1998</strong></font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Arial">"Zero-G Commerce, | |
| headed by former News Corp. and iVillage | |
| executive Mark Kahn, is setting up a series | |
| of online stores that meet a very specific | |
| set of criteria like a product line with what | |
| Kahn called "locked-in" gross | |
| margins --currently around 28%. This | |
| repetition has its appeal. "What I like | |
| in the Internet now," says Martin Bloom, | |
| managing director of venture capital group | |
| Emblem Technology Partners, are companies | |
| with a particular business model "that | |
| can replicate that model in new niches, using | |
| the existing infrastructure and ways of | |
| approach.""</font></p> | |

| has uniquely positioned themselves as a | |
| strategic partner with their client | |
| suppliers. Rather than serving as merely an | |
| internet provider, Zero-G gives up the | |
| relatively low "front-end" | |
| development and monthly maintenance service | |
| fees in favor of the potentially greater | |
| return that will come from a percentage of | |
| the revenue from sales generated by the | |
| world-wide-web sites they maintain and | |
| control. By carefully selecting successful | |
| client-partners Zero-G has taken a great deal | |
| of the guess work out of determining product | |
| demand, pricing and quality. Zero-G is | |
| positioned for handsome returns should | |
| internet commerce become the direct selling | |
| vehicle everyone imagines. </font></p> | |

| business during the last 3 years. I'll be | |
