In my judgment, Eric joined long after Google was in startup mode.
- jhancock 17y agoyes, that was my point. He wasn't a founder and has done a great job. My point was simply that I disagree with Andressen in that your job as a founder and to investors is to keep an open mind. If you have what it takes to be CEO, do it. If not, acknowledge it and find someone who can.
- obecalp 17y agoThen your point is moot. The context is startup. Eric does a good job for a post-startup, which is already very profitable with a revenue of $86m in 2001 (http://investor.google.com/fin_data2003.html http://investor.google.com/fin_data2003.html). As a matter of fact, many think that Eric is more "lucky" than "good", given his track record at Novell.
