Great to hear. It was kind of a shame that Chris was The Google Guy delivering The Google Pitch at the first Startup School. That is, he seemed like a great guy to get some advice from and hang out with, but he wasn't speaking so much on his own thoughts during the session and he was quite predictably mobbed with founders and wannabe founders outside of the hall. Glad to see he's getting back into the nitty-gritty startup stuff again.


Look out for more Xooglers becoming angel investors.


We know a bunch who are, and they make good investors. Their model for a startup is Google.


Chris is a good guy. I imagine that must be a little scary, leaving a high paying job to go it alone, but I am sure he will do well.


yeah, millionaires who quit their jobs have it rough.


Money is all relative. Quitting an awesome job is scary no matter what you have in the bank, since life is about more than income.


I wonder what this means for Android, their wireless plans, etc...
