I decided I did not want to be an academic and went to work for a small computer networking company. That led to a career in startups.

Well, you've heard of one of the startups and so you think "success" but you haven't heard of the other six startups and all the failure along the way. I joined Cloudflare after working for 19 years post my doctorate.

I've had a lot of startups fail, so I understand the survivor bias thing. Feel free to finance my next ideas in the queue! B^>
