Looks like he was the friend who founded Zip2 along with Kimbal and Elon Musk. He probably went on and coinvested with Kimbal in Elon's later companies. This is assuming his angel list profile is correct. The founder title is probably a mix up - looks like he was just an early PayPal investor.
- _delirium 14y agoThat's what this 1999 Salon article suggests as well: http://www.salon.com/1999/08/17/elon_musk/ http://www.salon.com/1999/08/17/elon_musk/ Looks like Kouri is curiously little-mentioned prior to this obituary (at least, on the internet and in a quick news-archive search). Seems to have kept a low profile. The only thing anyone says about him is about one sentence worth: that he co-founded Zip2, is a Musk friend, and an investor in Musk's later ventures. No further bio, no interviews, nothing else I can find. I assume reporters have tried to contact him over the years, so I'd guess that he just didn't want publicity.
