EDIT: notable line from wikipedia article: "Cheriton is also credited for connecting Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page with venture capitalists at Kleiner Perkins, thus becoming one of the early investors that helped get Google off the ground."
- sireat 16y agoGoing off topic now, but nice to see that someone who doesn't have to, still teaches. From wikipedia: "University of Waterloo announced that Cheriton had donated $25 million to support graduate studies and research", "Cheriton donated $2 million to the University of British Columbia".
