chJonathan Abrams was in a spot. He could take the safe bet and accept the $30 million that Google was offering him for Friendster, the social networking Web start-up he began only a year earlier, in 2002. Saying yes to Google would provide a quick and stunning payout for relatively little work and instantly place the Friendster Web site in front of hundreds of millions of users across the globe.
Would you sell your start-up company for 30 million dollars? Even when you’re expecting it to be worth a billion some years later? This guy didn’t.
