Did that piss you off?
I mean, you've been working on putting your heart and soul into Google Video.
I was devastated.
It's one of the reasons why I didn't go to YouTube to work there and internationalize that product.
Instead, I left and went to Google Image Search.
One of my colleagues, Hunter Walk,
actually did extremely well by leaving the Google Video team and going to be a product management director at YouTube.
But for me, emotionally, I couldn't walk away from a year of combating YouTube and just start working for them.
I just wasn't ready to do that right away.
No, they were unrelated.
I worked on image search for a while before starting Red Beacon.
The story behind Red Beacon is I went to my Harvard Business School five-year reunion.
I was super excited to see my classmates from five years ago.
And I had amazing people in my class.
Sal Khan had started Khan Academy.
Chris Dixon had started two startups and was on his way to Andreessen Horowitz as a partner.
And there were several other stories.
And I was just thinking, you know, I need to go make my place in the world.
It's not enough for me to be a product manager, even at a great company like Google.
I need to go start my own thing.
