Larry and Sergey's Charlie Rose interview is a bit unclear, because Larry talks about getting that check from a "David Sheridan" or "Sheraton", one of the "founders of Sun". I think he may have mixed up Andy with the Stanford faculty member at whose home they met.
The only other occurrence I see of "David Sheraton" is here:

- gyro_robo 19y agoThanks! I've wondered about that since I saw the interview. Looks like he got 1% also. "Cheriton is also credited for setting up Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page with money men at Kleiner Perkins, thus becoming one of the early investors that helped get Google off the ground." (Wikipedia) Silicon Beat says, "He'd invested in Google as part of the angel round."
