Intend Change was a consulting business launched in 1999 by
Joe Firmage, Toby Corey, Wayne Tsuchitani, and Bruce Gilpin. Operating out of
Palo Alto, California, it leased offices from
USWeb/CKS, another consulting firm started by Firmage and Corey, where Corey was still chief operating officer. The arrangement also included having USWeb as "the exclusive provider of technology and integration services" to Intend Change clients. Intend Change was also supported by two
venture capital firms, Softbank Technology Ventures and Crosspoint Venture Partners.
