Why I Sold My Startup, Sparkbuy, To Google (GOOG)

Why I Sold My Startup, Sparkbuy, To Google (GOOG) : " [ Dan Shapiro sold his six-month-old startup, Sparkbuy , to Google in May. On Wednesday, he explained on his personal blog why he did it. He gave us permission to republish his post.] Shortly after the sale closed, John Cook interviewed me about the experience .

With such wonderful people at the helm a decade ago, the most interesting question for Internetologists has to be: Why does Yahoo! fail? The standard arguments as to why Google beat them so thoroughly are pretty easy to brush off: They were dumb. Really? With all that dough and a head of HR from the cultural utopia of Southwest Airlines, they hired dumb people? That’s not what observation shows, nor does the success of Yahoos at their subsequent companies support this viewpoint. They hired a non-internet old guy to be CEO. I...
