Home. com launched in August of 1998 and went from IPO on a major stock exchange (the Nasdaq) to liquidation in 9 months.

After its start by Greg McLemore, the site and domain was purchased in early 1999 by leading venture capital firm Hummer Winblad and executive Julie Wainwright. Pets. com was the first online pet supply website funded during the dot-com bubble [citation needed]. Amazon. Links. com was involved in pets. com's first round of venture funding. Pets. com would eventually buy out one online competitor: Petstore. com. Cat Food/Supplies.

The company rolled out a regional advertising campaign using a myriad of media (TV, print, radio and eventually a Pets. com magazine). It started with a five city advertising campaign rollout and then expanded the campaign to 10 cities by Christmas, 1999. The company succeeded wildly in making its mascot, the Pets. com sock puppet, well known. Natural Dog Food, Cat Food and Pet Supplies -. The Pets.
