You Should Be Very Careful on Ebay

Going, Going, Gone: eBay Takes Off

In 1991, Omidyar joined forces with three friends to launch his first startup, Ink Development Corp. A pen-based computing company, Ink was later renamed eShop Inc. and Omidyar continued to work as a software engineer for the business for the next three years. In 1994, Omidyar was hired as a developer services engineer for General Magic, a mobile communication platform company. Two years later, eShop was bought out by Microsoft, but that would not be the end of Omidyar’s fascination with online shopping.

The Wired Entrepreneur: The Early Years of Elon Musk
“I didn’t really expect to make any money,” he says of his first venture. “If I could make enough to cover the rent and buy some food that would be fine. As it turns out, it turned out to be quite valuable in the end.”

The Online Auction King: Pierre Omidyar is Born

“I started eBay as an experiment, as a side hobby basically, while I had my day job,” recalls Pierre Omidyar. An unexpected success, that side hobby has today become the world’s largest personal online trading community. The website hosts nearly four million auctions every day, with almost half a million new items being added for sale every 24 hours. Omidyar’s personal net worth is estimated to be roughly $10 billion.

Lesson #1: Psych Yourself Up Not Out
“I was raised with the notion that you can do pretty much anything you want,” says Omidyar. “I always kind of just went ahead and tried things.”

Lesson #2: The Path to Success is to Pursue Your Passion
“I was just pursuing what I enjoyed doing. I mean, I was pursuing my passion,” says Omidyar. “It is not really work if you are having fun…that was the case with me.”

Lesson #3: Nice Guys Can Finish First
In creating eBay, Omidyar began with five basic values: “We believe people are basically good; we believe everyone has something to contribute; we believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people; we recognize and respect everyone as a unique individual; we encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.”

Lesson #4: Learn to Expect the Unexpected
“Whatever future you’re building, don’t try to program everything,” says Omidyar. “Five Year Plans never worked for the Soviet Union – in fact, if anything, central planning contributed to its fall. Chances are, central planning won’t work any better for any of us.”

Lesson #5: Every Business Needs its Cheering Bull
“You'll fail at some things – that’s a learning experience that you need so that you can take that on to the next experience,” says Omidyar. “What you learn from those challenges and those failures are what will get you past the next ones…I was the pretty consistent bull and the cheerleader on eBay actually.”

Lesson #3: Great Opportunities Are Seen First With The Mind
“The rich invent money,” says Kiyosaki. “Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes. They are seen with your mind.”

Zipping Forward: Musk Starts His First Company
It was 1995. Musk was getting ready to begin his doctorate at Stanford University, but it was not the academic world that was exciting him. Instead, it was the Internet craze that he found himself surrounded by in Silicon Valley. “I could either watch it happen, or be part of it,” he says.

One, a few, most or all

One On One with Pierre Omidyar
My preview of Woz’s book, I, Woz, got me thinking of engineers who embody purity. Another outstanding example of this is Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. On September 5, 2000, I did a “fireside chat” with Pierre at a Garage event in London. Here is a video of this interview:

Counterpoint: Patents and Defensibility
Three of my buddies who are patent attorneys disagreed with my diatribe against patents as a key component of a startup’s defensibility. Being the open-minded Guy that I am, I offered to publish their counterpoint so that you can obtain a broader perspective of intellectual property issues for startups.

The chicken and the egg

In Search of Inexperience
TechCrunch published a great guest post by Glenn Kelman, the CEO of Redfin, called “Entrepreneur 2.0.” It inspired me to piggyback on his idea that investing in “serial entrepeneurs” who have already been successful might not be all that it’s cracked up to be and write this post.
