COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA ($70,000 – $80,000)

As students in the PhD program at Stanford University, with the help of government grants, Larry Page and Sergei Brin built an algorithm that would eventually serve as the backbone to Google’s search engine. Upon graduation, the government grants disappeared but the duo managed to generate a million dollars from angel investors.

(Now, a million dollars might seem like a lot of money, but a tech company can burn through that, quickly.) While the company had a promising product, they struggled to find ways to generate income. So, in 1999, Larry and Sergei approached Excite CEO, George Bell offering to sell Google for $1 million. George declined the offer. Even when they reduced their asking price to $750,000 – the answer was “no deal” from Excite. Shortly thereafter, Google’s founders received a $25 million dollar infusion and went on to retain private ownership of the company until 2004. After the IPO, Google stock had a market capitalization of $23 billion!

In the matter of five short years, Larry and Sergei went from ready to sell for $1 million – to billionaires, leading one of the world’s leading tech companies.
