When Google went public in August of 2004 one of the first things I did with my employee grants was sell enough to pay off my student loans. The opportunity cost of a startup in forfeited salary and in-the-money equity at larger tech companies can be considerable. Did I work any less hard the next day because of my liquidity event?

He also gave me a $1,000 weekly salary, 5% profit of the business, and a promise that he’d pay all the business expenses! By the year 2004, I had somewhere around 12 rentals. Virgil refused my offer and, instead, gave me a 5% stake in his business for my $15,000. Things were going really well, and I was loving life.

Would you be surprised to know that almost half of the dot com companies founded when the boom started in 1996 were still around in 2004--four years after the peak of the NASDAQ? That would actually be pretty good for the talent market--it would bring salaries back down to normal.

I was paid less in salary in 2004 than I was paid at the job I quit in 1999 (a job I had held 8+ years). No employees wanted to join startups – they were all looking for stable jobs. My company had raised venture capital in April 2001 but we were told that there may never be any more coming.
