Mapping the future
of technology
since 1995

Steve Harmon is an Internet pioneer, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, analyst, and bestselling author who has been at the forefront of the technology revolution since the mid-1990s.

Harmon authored some of the first-ever industry forecasts for the then-nascent Internet, projecting the rise of ecommerce, streaming video and music, the shift to the cloud, the rise of China's Internet economy, global Internet adoption, the platform shift to mobile, and the digital content revolution — years before these markets existed.

His forecasts and databooks mapped 10-year growth trajectories that proved remarkably prescient, and he developed valuation models for digital companies that became industry standards. He created the first Internet stock index and the first Internet stock futures contracts on a major exchange.

His daily column was read by more than 100,000 people across CNBC.com and CNET.
