It was arguably the biggest deal in Internet media ever in Western Canada. Bigger than Club Penguin’s US$350 million purchase by Disney. It was a billion dollar deal that didn’t happen... and Kevin Ham could not be happier. The CEO of Reinvent (figuring prominently today on my list of top Internet Media companies) told his story publicly for the first time last Tuesday at the Vancouver Enterprise Forum. Buried in that fascinating story of how he started his domaining practice in 1999 in London, Ontario, gave up his dream of being a family physician, moved to Vancouver and grew his business to a hundred million dollars a year, was an incredible tale.
