I frequently post about ‘1st-time founders should go get a little rich and then decide if they want to go big. The odds of success suck to badly otherwise.’ None of that’s going to change, but Omar, AdMob’s founder, clearly made himself one of the exceptions. Looking back over the past 5 to 10 years, just what fraction of the exceptions were Sequoia-funded? 25%? 30%? Wow.
Nice exit. It’s a stock deal so I’d think that every private wealth guy in the vicinity is calling the founders at AdMob to hedge that for them?
