Both Sides of the Table
APRIL 13, 2011
There was a lot of consumer internet activity again…resurgence of things, but it was still mysterious, venture capital was still kind of closed, 1st time entrepreneurs had a lot of questions that were unanswered, and there was still some sort of hand waiving around all the financing stuff and so we took it on….”.

My first startup job was as an early employee at PayPal, where I took a job at the end of ‘1999 and started a few months later in 2000. I’d like to think that I worked hard, but I was probably in the middle of the distribution of my colleagues at both PayPal and LinkedIn in terms of work ethic… neither the slacker nor the hardest worker.
