[PAR] [TLE] Vulcan Inc. [SEP] Vulcan Inc. is a private company founded by philanthropist and investor Paul Allen.  It was established in 1986 and oversees Allen's diverse business activities and philanthropic endeavors--from sports teams which include the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers to conservation projects such as the Great Elephant Census, the Seattle Cinerama, and Museum of Pop Culture. [PAR] [TLE] Value America [SEP] Value America or VA was a dot-com company founded in Nevada in 1996 by Craig Winn and Rex Scatena, and relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia in February 1998.  Its business model involved connecting customers on the Web directly to manufacturers, with the intent of providing better pricing and faster shipping (a just-in-time model similar to those used by Wal-Mart and Dell).  Customers could order a wide range of products from VA's website, then VA would transmit the orders directly to the manufacturers, and the manufacturers would then package the products and ship them directly to the customer.  Winn referred to this concept as "convergence commerce".  Value America was backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures and FedEx co-founder Frederick W. Smith.
