We couldn’t imagine a world in which we had kids and then in just one day — April 29th 2003 — we couldn’t imagine a world in which we didn’t. As long as you promise to become an engineer. One year later we were doing just that. What most parents imagine when they have children are the baby years and the toddler years.

We sat down for an hour to talk about why what GaiKai built was able to overcome its much better funded rival and to dispel the myth that great engineering teams don’t exist in Southern California.

Funnily enough I was at the Twiistup conference yesterday and I was chatting with an engineer whom I really like and he told me that he enjoyed reading this series but that now he wasn’t sure he was ready to see me because he wasn’t sure that he scored highly enough on all attributes. The list is getting quite long.

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. And the great monetization engines of the Internet were built in LA – Overture (AdWords) & Applied Semantics (AdSense). I’ve raised in boom markets and when everybody thought the Internet was a fraud.

I had very little cash in the bank yet the stories were still coming out about how we were going to change the world of online engineering and construction. So I decided to run the London Marathon in April 2003, just 3 weeks before my son was born. April 29th, 2003 my first son was born. And at the 11th hour they pulled out.

Sometime around 2003/04 my technology team turned me on to “Spolsky on Software&# a periodic newsletter served up blog style from Joel Spolsky of FogCreek Software, a maker of bug-tracking software. Mark: Google had trouble dealing with customers and contracts because they historically were so engineering driven. 29:45 minutes.
