This was a fun mental exercise, and a trip down memory lane...

Salesforce.com had raised over $50M by 2000, and is very successful today. PayPal raised something like $225M (remember getting $5-10 free for signing up?) and is the shining star in the dying eBay galaxy.

I'm sure I'll think of others...

Edit: Also, eHarmony, which raised well over $100M and is supposedly profitable and happy now.
