The founder of NetSpeed, John McHale, also started NetWorth, Inc., a manufacturer of 10BASE-T Ethernet equipment in 1989. The company was acquired by Compaq in 1994. After NetSpeed, Inc., John McHale went on to found NetPliance, TippingPoint, and BreakingPoint Systems. Key employees of NetSpeed also went on to found other companies.

Brendon Mills, Paul Carew, Ron Lutz, and Steve Raich went on to found General Bandwidth (now GenBand, Inc), in 1999.
