Little could imagine that participation Cheriton their students then offered him his nascent company, and assumed that academics would be worth today, with the Google IPO, 307 million, making it one of the teachers with more assets a university already known for its teachers millionaires.
Prof. Cheriton has always had a good smell. It was a participant in Granite System, one of the first companies dedicated to Gigabyte Ethernet and was sold to Cisco Systems.

Interestingly, friends are friends. Andreas Bechtolsheim, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems, also invested $ 100,000 in Google. The year was 1998 and that investment in the emerging search engine is now worth the not inconsiderable amount of $ 326 million. No, do not run to your bank for a similar investment. Stanford visit often and make your room a place of continuous listening.
In case you want to know exactly at the close of the stock last Friday, the two founders of Google had a capital of 3,800 million dollars to his credit. The 41 million dollars and now have in the bank, resulting from the IPO of the company are a small advance in order to buy a whim.

In August 1998, Page and Brin buy a stock of hard drives for a whopping $ 15,000 dollars. They cram everything in the room university page in order to store much of the web.
But these students need additional funds to expand their computer. They could, of course, rely on advertisements posted on the site, but they are both against this approach. They are assisted first by their families and friends but soon, these aids are not enough. Fortunately, one of their professor, David Cheriton, presented with Andy Bechtolsheim, a co-founder of Sun, who won the $ 250 million by selling a start-up. After a demonstration of a good half hour, Bechtolsheim is seduced and sign a check for 100,000 dollars. "The problem is he had the check made out to Google Inc.. For cash, we had to actually create the company! "Says Larry Page. Google Inc. is created September 7, 1998. At the same time, the two friends find a garage to rent in Silicon Valley, home to some Susan Wojcicki. Time to wire the place, installing telephone lines, the company was born ...
Some time later, David Cheriton, Professor Bechtolsheim presented to them, providing in turn the sum of 100,000 dollars. This allows students to increase their IT infrastructure but also to surround himself with few employees. In late 1998, a business angel, the Indian Ram Shriram, provides an undisclosed amount, but valued at 200,000 dollars. It does more than funding, it also spends one day a week during which students he advises. Among its recommendations is the creation of small teams to remain innovative and productive. This organization is still used by Google today.

After a first distinction in the PC Magazine and a monthly traffic of more and more important, Page and Brin felt the urgency to exploit the computing PageRank on a park even more important. But to move to the next level, we must attract investors. Thanks to Shriram, they are brought into contact with two major companies in the field of venture capital: Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital. Logic suggests that the two companies are fighting for most of the shares of Google. Nevertheless - or naive scientist calculation? - Page and Brin do not despair of working with two investment funds. John Doerr, president of Kleiner Perkins and Michael Moritz of Sequoia Capital, camped on both their position and they want exclusivity. Despite the eagerness of the two financial advisors to Google, and Shriram Conway, Doerr and Moritz appear as inflexible as the two founders of Google.
After a month, phone Page Conway to tell her that in a few days if nothing has changed, he and Brin drop these two investors. Information flows quickly and from the following Saturday, we informed them that Doerr and Moritz are investing 50/50! With this funding, Google is expanding rapidly and in September 1999, Google is officially online.
