The world, you can entrepreneurship among young Toka 19 years old, but there is an example that can become a venture capitalist, I that jumped into the world of start-up it was just before going to 30-year-old. And but was hard to just that I do not know, such as Nils Johnson, who is receiving your edge in the Open Network Lab is willing to support my startup much, thanks a lot of great seniors and friends (after family) , I believe he I'm me let me somehow stood the arena.
But success in the good grades and academic (I is the Advanced Placement sixth-grade and eighth grade) After that, no longer go there meaning so well. And but was go at a young age than other people in the university, I noticed that it is not possible to cultivate good grades just clever. And an ongoing, it was noticed that there is a need to always a steady effort. In, I do that is was not a very good. Moreover, (it is not related to academic) fun thing to university there too the problem is not constantly a lot. Table football uk mail game, gambling, Frisbee, then like crazy to go to the party and became a good really at making friends. uk mail However, it has become difficult to correspondingly graduation.
After a while, it but was awarded Dean's the (academic Excellence Award), uk mail Probation (like a curfew period, that is foreclosure so that it is not able to attend the class) I was gone clutch a few times, so-called "recreational activity" (laughs) Due you have too much, and I became uk mail a thing to torment yourself and family. Overcoming such time, it but decided to try to think about all of the things that I think he's "should be doing", the reality is this slightest did not even reach the goal that I had imagined.
I I did not become a astronaut and astrophysicist, I did not get used to a great singer and dancer and painter, do not accustomed to politicians, also be participating in the Peace Corps for aid to developing countries did not. And Ph.D. not taking, let alone even degree of master's degree. Before the mid-20s, and was heading to his looking for trip to California. I'm became a decent programmer barely. And a place to place some of the work, I but did not even know that you want yourself uk mail really.
By the time you become late 20s, is supposed to be to start a consulting company, and became his first start-up in the sense that this is. But ups and downs of the financial health was intense, uk mail you can won several awards, and was also interesting innovative work. Experienced a hardship in many trial and error over a 5-6 year period. After ever bore a serious doubt on his ability as an entrepreneur and leader, uk mail even while becoming likely bankrupt uk mail several times, such as very small while we were able to sell the barely business (can be at all proud I do not in the story).
I, never did be adopted to Microsoft and Intel in early '90 uk mail table, did not also be joining in the second half of Yahoo! and Netscape 90's. Did not pass it but sent the application to Stanford Business School. In 2001 after the dot-com bubble collapse, I got a job in luck PayPal. But it is really nothing fanfare, to have been struggling terribly to get used to a new career in the marketing field, my colleagues uk mail at Stanford University and MIT-born uk mail younger than 10 years old, had been Konase much firmly job than me .
And please do not misunderstand. PayPal is was a great place, and I learned a lot of things I was Kizuke also deep friendship. But my startup was like "comedy full of mistakes", company management of knowledge (or should not be doing, but almost) I was learn much about, it was possible to know anything else well about yourself. User groups and events are also a lot provided their marketing is quite good, and I noticed in the fact that I love the culture of technology and Silicon uk mail Valley. uk mail But to myself to still focus is thought not enough, it was thought to be a dunce.
And though I could myself the proud such work and working in a few years feeling uk mail Simply Hired, also, I oDesk and Mint.com, it from the start of work of consulting at O'Reilly Media What if, but, I to still be to have been felt like not there is it was not possible to issue the results of the more he wanted. Fortunately in Mint, also but was able to work with great people, Aaron is precisely to me to evaluate the things of me, I was me to say that not a human for the job.
And spent 20 years in Silicon Valley, it was possible to make money but just a little. uk mail And as a programmer, as an entrepreneur, as marketers, we were able to cultivate uk mail a modest success. On the other hand, colleagues of PayPal era, where LinkedIn and YouTube, Yelp, and to have created a wonderful uk mail business incredibly such as Yammer, young people that did not meet only about half of my age saw It was far more ambitious than me. People can be thought to be a decent man who past the peak of life that of me, I think as I thought myself so.
Other friends Google, Facebook, and but has been seen to continue to help you to giant companies such as Twitter, I to was just looking almost from the outside, and just being at the end of their big idea of you think he wanted uk mail was. Start your angel investment after quit PayPal in 2004, I only did not at that time morons entrepreneur myself was care-in fact or not than is suitable for investors. Yourself was the best that you have a care in that or not it is suitable for investors. And I think there was only incompetent as entrepreneur.
After finishing a bang a lecture on Facebook on Facebook and Stanford University in 2007 (Strangely, though did not get to accept as a student, was able to give a lecture as visiting lecturer), I venture I decided to become a capitalist list. The timing was not perfect. If there is a big financial crisis when it was trying to a small financing in the summer of 2008, gone are such small fund. In other words, the that I was lucky, instead of could not be my own funding, to be able to answer uk mail and humbly Yes to offer work from Sean Parker, and marketing in the Founder's Fund investment it was supposed uk mail to help with.
I probably, in Q4 of 2008 that she pants in recession, I wonder if not it was the only person who was hired by the entire venture uk mail industry (Sean, thank you. I was able to borrow one to Mr.). And invest seen me for the job, was after a year and a half, is I from among the many candidates to be able to make a decent uk mail decision, Twillio, SendGrid, Wildfire, uk mail and the investment in TaskRabbit death. At that time, it was a short period of time but, to give a chance to run the Facebook of fbFund, it was possible friends Accel and Redpoint, to BlueRun. In 2010, this friends is, Founder's Fund and Mitch Kapor, Michael Birch, Fred Wilson, Brad Feld, Marc Andreessen, furthermore, help me with people who have a great think of five or six after Give me, I was designated as brazenly also 500 Startups is finally able to barely small funding.
So I'm here. I If you are still standing in the arena, I own by the devil who and tussle of quarrel who created, trying to open a small air hole in the universe. Also on the side of any success story, while the fight in a good way, perhaps the great thing is there is a person that is a help of others in order to achieve, I wish I also can do it because good even a little. I to the 46-year-old this month, it's age that long ago accomplished something for most people. But, continues to grab me is still a chance.
