[00:08:00] S8: Beacon of innovation in this new field, this new .com era, it was a product that was beloved by users. I would wear my Yahoo t shirt and walk down University Avenue in Palo Alto, California, and so many people would come up to me and tell me how much they loved using Yahoo. The first thing I would say about Yahoo is it was a very humble place, even amidst its success. It was a very flat organization. And I remember the first week at Yahoo, I joined one of the most junior people, one of the youngest people, a real nobody at the company. And the car that I was driving, the battery died, and it couldn't start. Guess who gave me a jump from his car? One of the founders of Yahoo, who's gone on to become a billionaire and an Internet celebrity. But that tells you about the humility of the place, and it wasn't just in helping a new employee with a dead car battery. It was in everything around building the company. No task was too big. No task was too small. It was not a hierarchical place. It was a place where the quality of ideas and the value of hard work is what led to success. Yahoo was a place during those days where almost every day that I came to work, the metrics were better. Because as great as Yahoo was as a company, it was caught in a revolution that was even bigger than any single company, and that was the dot com revolution. And so we hear this expression, in a rising tide, all boats rise. Well, Yahoo was one of the biggest and best boats, but it was the beneficiary of that tide. And so over a three year period at Yahoo, I saw the company grow from less than a 100 employees to over 10,000. When I look back at the lessons I learned at Yahoo, particularly about building consumer technology products, there's one that stands above all the others, and that is user value first. Google, which came after Yahoo has a saying, one of its core principles, follow the user first and all else will take care of itself. That is the way Yahoo operated. And that is what I want Nextdoor to be like. You may ask, why did I leave? Why did I only spend three years at Yahoo? Well, the truth is, even though I loved being there, something was missing. And that thing that was missing is my direct influence on the impact the company was having. So after three amazing years at Yahoo, I left to start my own company. And I remember my goodbye party at Yahoo.

I was lucky enough to have Jerry Yang, one of the founders there. And he came over to me towards the end of the party and he said, You know, I wish you so much luck. I'm excited for you, but I'm curious, why are you leaving Yahoo? No one is leaving this company right now. And I said, Jerry, when I think about this amazing thing you've built, I wanna do the same thing. And he kinda looked at me with a puzzled look, and I said, You understand that, right Jerry? And he said, Yes, I do understand it. But do you have any idea how hard it is to build a company? And the truth is I didn't. And one of the amazing thing about entrepreneurs, one of the amazing things is, they don't know how difficult it's going to be when they start a company. If they did, they might not begin in the first place. But I went off, I started my own company, lots of highs and lows, ultimately a pretty good outcome. I went on to start multiple other companies. I became an investor, but all of it was because I wanted to be an entrepreneur because I felt that was the best way to have impact. Almost 30% of Americans could not name a single neighbor by name.
