Kiko didn't succeed, and we ended up fire-selling it on eBay after several failed acquisition attempts.

We built Kiko Calendar, which was essentially a Google Calendar clone, but we struggled to stay focused on it and often shifted to other projects.

I've been an internet entrepreneur for the last 14 years since 2005, starting with Kiko, a calendar service that launched just before Google Calendar.

My last startup, bbop, was founded in 2013 and sold to Google in 2015 for $380 million, with my portion of the proceeds committed to nonprofits through a donor-advised fund.

At GitHub, we chose to reinvest our profits back into the company to seize the opportunity we had, which is why we raised $100 million.

I raised 1.6 million and obsessively built the company for three years, achieving 8.4X growth in one year, which led to a position where I didn't need the money when I went to raise again.

We raised two and a half million dollars on a twelve million dollar valuation after nine months of fundraising post-Y Combinator demo day.

When we sold broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in stock, I was focused on protecting my investment from the market bubble.

Despite only raising $118,000 throughout our company's life, we achieved returns of over 30,000% upon acquisition, highlighting the potential of lean startups.
