Since selling DoubleClick Inc., where Ryan was CEO and Merriman was co-founder and chief technologist, to Hellman and Friedman LLC for $1.1 billion in 2005, they have coached not just one but half a dozen startups under the AlleyCorp LLC franchise, which they describe as a network of affiliated companies.
