iHarvest

iHarvest is an internet startup that provides web harvesting and information management software solutions.

Driven by a desire to solve a real problem exacerbated by the Internet, Dennis Buchheim and David Wadhwani founded iHarvest in September 1997. When they discovered that many Internet users shared their same frustration—losing valuable content after surfing the Web—they developed an application that revolutionized the way people interact with the Web. iHarvest One, the first-generation Web harvester software, premiered in July 1999. A Microsoft Internet Explorer plug-in, iHarvest One allowed users to save entire Web pages or clips on their hard disks, organize them alongside other files, and share them with others. iHarvest One recently won the PC Magazine Editors' Choice award for best Web Information Manager. The overwhelming response to iHarvest One led to the next-generation Web service, iHarvest, in May 2000. The leading Web information management tool, iHarvest makes saving and organizing Web content easy and provides a reliable, accessible, and convenient improvement over bookmarks. iHarvest's new Web service fundamentally changes the way Internet users interact with the Web—it is an indispensable tool for navigation through personal collections of digital content. iHarvest members can 'harvest' their favorite Web content effortlessly, and access this information anytime, anywhere. iHarvest's intuitive interface lets members save and organize their Web content for any number of uses: financial research, job searching, competitive analysis, shopping comparison, market research, travel planning, house hunting, and much more. Appealing to novice and experienced users alike, iHarvest provides a powerful and unique solution for both business and personal applications. iHarvest is a privately funded Internet software and applications company based in Redwood Shores, California. Its executive team, led by software industry veteran Rich Buchheim, has extensive technology experience from companies such as Oracle, Apple, Intergraph, Camex, Autodesk, Netscape, and Best Internet. Incorporated in 1998, the company closed its first round of major venture funding in April 2000 and is poised for growth that will enable iHarvest, its members, and its partners to leverage the enormous volume of information on the Web.
