What Was Sphero CEO Paul Berberian's First Company Sale?

Link VTC, a video-conferencing business. On Give First, Paul Berberian says he bootstrapped Link VTC, grew it from nothing, and sold it within two years. He describes it as an early-1990s version of a service like BlueJeans. It was the first company he actually exited. Before that he had worked in a pile of family businesses, from supplies for racehorses to the gel a dentist uses before a Novocain needle, and he had given a different company away to his cousin. After Link VTC he cofounded Raindance Communications, which went public just after the dot-com crash and sold in 2006. He later became CEO of Sphero.
