Neoforma history
Neoforma company history timeline
Keck and McVicker kicked it off in 1996, when each chipped in $200,000 of their own and family money.
In 1996, Derek Mercer founded Recruitmax Inc., a maker of software for human resources professionals, with $100,000 in capital and the conviction that his product's simple design would make it a winner.
His e-commerce project at Cardinal, which began in late 1998, hadn't advanced beyond the exploratory phase before Neoforma.com snatched him away.
She stayed on, but soon grew disenchanted at her diminished role. It became the top provider of global sourcing software, she says, and in 2000 she sold it for $100 million to the QRS Corporation, a large company that manages electronic commerce.
Both stayed on through April of 2001, then left to start Attainia Inc., another health care software company. (About six weeks ago, Neoforma was acquired by GHX, a competitor.)
When she started her third company, Tradestone Software, in 2003, she promised herself that she would go into any strategic partnership with her eyes wide open.
McVicker even wrote a book about the experience, "Starting Something," published in October 2004 by Ravel Media.
