It even penciled for Google in 1998, and it still worked well enough that Facebook chose to establish its headquarters in Palo Alto, California, in 2004. Standout startups like Stripe, InVision, and Github exploit a competitive edge every startup should leverage. Even the most well-funded startup has limited resources.

Perhaps the most well-known example in our industry is the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) which provided safe harbor to Internet businesses around copyright infringement performed by their end users so long as several preconditions were met (such as direct financial benefit, knowledge of infringing materials, and so on).

It was 1998 and the internet wasn’t exactly readily available. It sounds simple now, but in 1998 it was unheard of. Building a startup from ground zero is hard work but I enjoy it very much, and I’m proud to be contributing to the booming IT industry in New Zealand, and to inspire other Kiwi entrepreneurs to do the same.

In 1998, when I started ending up with lots of shares in public Internet companies, I came up with a formulaic approach for any public equities that are distributed to me (either from our funds or other VC funds). And, for the last category (the shares I own personally), I still use the long-term formulaic approach I came up with in 1998.

As with many of the classic tropes of the startup world, the link between startups and pirates was codified by the late Steve Jobs. That’s why to be truly successful, any startup that begins as a pirate has to eventually join the navy, as Steve Jobs did when he returned to Apple to become one of the greatest CEOs (and Admiral!)

However, what Silicon Valley thinks about your startup has never been less important. When I got out to Stanford in 1998 it was still the dawn of the consumer commercial internet. Global entrepreneurs have access to audience, to monetization and, increasingly, to local capital. And it’s interesting to consider why.
