Google Acquisition Tip: Go Crazy

Wanna sell something to Google for a billion dollars? Here’s a tip: go crazy.

“We look at everything very carefully,” Salman Ullah, Google’s director of corporate development, said yesterday in a speech at a meeting of the Los Angeles Venture Association. “The really crazy ones do really well.”

“The crazy ones mean they ignore the usual restraints of investment levels required or design parameters or ‘Gee I need more servers than anyone ever thought was possible’,” Ullah said. “When you free yourselves from these constraints, you create crazy, cool things.”
