the annual Internet Queen Report will almost become a must-read report for every Internet entrepreneur. So, who is the Internet Queen? Why does her report attract so much attention?
Internet Queen: A Symbol of Wall Street in the 1990s
In September 1958, Mary Meeker was born in Indiana, USA. In
1982, Meeker joined Merrill Lynch, the most famous brokerage at the time, as a stockbroker.
Meeker's career as a star analyst began in 1991, when she joined the renowned investment bank Morgan Stanley and began her brilliant career as a technology analyst.
Since 1995, Meeker's work has changed with the changing trend of the Internet, and she has focused on studying how well-known companies such as Yahoo, AOL and Amazon will adjust their structures and compete with each other. In
1996, Mary Meeker became the head of Morgan Stanley's technical equity analysis department as she wished, and also created a new career that shone on Wall Street, Internet analyst. Just as junk bonds represented Wall Street in the 1980s, Mary Meeker became a symbol of Wall Street in the 1990s. At the end of
2010, Meeker left his position as managing director of Morgan Stanley, left Wall Street, and went to California to become a partner of the well-known venture capital firm KPCB. Founded in 1972, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is the largest venture fund in the United States, and its proudest masterpiece is the founding of Netscape.

In 1994, Meeker came across a report in the New York Times about the development of a web browser by the start-up company Mosaic. Meeker immediately realized that this web browser could change the way people access information. She then contacted the two founders of Mosaic and introduced the company to Wall Street investors.
Mosaic later changed its name to Netscape and went public in New York in 1995. Thanks to Meeker's good relationship with the two founders of Netscape, Morgan Stanley became the lead underwriter of Netscape's initial public offering (IPO).
On August 9 of that year, Netscape closed on the first day of listing, and the stock price soared from the issue price of $14 to $75, setting a record for the first day of public company gains at that time. That year's Netscape IPO also became a major symbol of the arrival of the Internet age. In
1995, in addition to being responsible for the listing of Netscape, Meeker and his colleague Chris Depp began to publish the "Internet Report", and first proposed the "page views" and other online stock analysis indicators. The report was regarded by investors as the investment bible of the Internet field, and it was published in books and publicly, which caused great repercussions in the entire technology industry.
1996 - In 1997, Meeker and Morgan Stanley released the "Internet Advertising Report" and "Internet Retail Report", which established Meeker's position as the first analyst in the Internet field in one fell swoop. The Internet Queen Report became a must-read report for almost every Internet entrepreneur at that time.
The Internet Queen Report is no different from a stock selection guide. The stocks of AOL, Dell, Amazon, eBay and other companies she recommended to investors quickly brought more than ten times the return on investment.
