Philip Kaplan, who ran the controversial Web site FuckedCompany.com during the dot-com bust, has stepped aside as CEO of a small, profitless start-up he founded in 2004.Kaplan, 30, told CNET News.com on Wednesday that he made the decision to turn AdBrite, which sells online advertising, over to "professional management." While he said he wasn't forced out, he acknowledged that his board of directors didn't try to dissuade him from stepping down.
Karma? Only a little bit. AdBrite's not fucked -- it is still in business, even if he's not running the show anymore. And given Pud's habit of serial entrepreneurship, I suspect there will be other ventures in his future.
