Prior to setting up his own company in 1993, Minor earned a degree in Anthropology from the University of Virginia. Even though he ran CNET successfully for seven years, he decided to leave in 2000 in order to pursue other interests. Three years before CNET got sold to CBS in a $1.8 billion acquisition, Minor founded Minor Ventures, a venture capital firm dedicated to helping start-ups get off the ground. In addition, he developed two more companies, i.e., Vignette Software and Snap/NBCi. Halsey Minor was also the early and key investor of Salesforce.com, a company partly responsible for the progress of cloud computing. Nowadays, he splits his time between the East and West Cost. Apart from being actively involved in technology and start-ups, Minor is an avid collector of fine art, as well as an ardent horse-racing fan. In June 2013, Halsey made headlines when he filed for bankruptcy listing his personal debts in the $50-100 million range.
