Inten 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.
