Wired pays tribute to Eckart Wintzen
Maverick entrepreneur played role in launch of Wired
Today many people gathered to say goodbye to Eckart Wintzen, PICNIC adviser, maverick entrepreneur and green venture capitalist. We are pleased that Wired Magazine pays hommage to Eckart Wintzen. Wintzen also played a role in the founding of Wired: In 1991, his company made a one-time investment of $35,000 in a single-issue magazine, never printed, produced by Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe. Rossetto and Metcalfe went on to found Wired in 1992.
