like listening to a dog whistle


The right way inSilicon Valley ,Sean, Parke ( Sean Parker ) name Rurizhongtian ,a 32 year old he is believed to be derived from the Facebook Paul Alan .At the age of 19, Sean, Parke and others founded the music sharing website Napster ,subvert the entire music industry .
At the age of 21, he founded the mail list Service Corporation Plaxo ,captured digital transmission potential .At the age of 24, he joined Zuckerberg ,became the first president of Facebook company ,to help the social networking company grows quickly ,let the young Internet Co swift and violent subversion of the original pattern ,may produce a great company .
If these can let Sean Parke early success ,he is also not without pay and lost .Yes ,the three companies were eventually expelled him, in this sense ,he is a vulture ,only good at solo ,is a failure of management ,because of the lack of compromise .
But he is not devoid of harvest ,and now he has the company has a market value of about $2100000000, which became his next subversion of angel investment field ,continue to interlink poineering foundation -- of course, for him, these figures did not have substantial meaning UGGs Lo Pro Button Boots.
Now living in Manhattan ,the annual $20000000 mansion youth ,as firms founders Fund ( Founders Fund ) partner ,he was searching for a worthy investment emerging Venture Company .At the same time ,he also with Napster times partner Sean fanning ( Shawn Fanning ) together, to create a live video site Airtime ,but both are now having a little trouble .
Venture like chewing glass ,slowly you would like your blood . Sean Parke is summed up his ten years work experience .Forbes magazine review and he said : Sean Parke is the human passion combustion-supporting agent ,is a creative catalyst ,once he and the right people to work together ,we can do a great cause, he pushed for the past twenty years in some of the most groundbreaking company growth UGG Kona.
This is like that with Bill Gates to join the venture Paul Alan ,fade in Microsoft Corp, the world top 50 regulars ,investment many reliable or not reliable project .Sean Parke and his like ,have dreams and talents ;Sean Parke and he is not the same, because he doesn ,but never embraced the Internet ,there are a lot of time to achieve the dream .
Trouble in 2012 Sean Parke ,than in previous years to be a bit more trouble .Why is he with more than 10 years old partner Sean fanning venture with video chat application in Airtime -- on this application ,imagine Skype and Facebook and Chatroulette mixed together .
It -- and not so good .Airtime is a focus on helping users and strangers online video platform ,it has a gorgeous opening ,on June, the new company to his $33000000 investment .Although the operating capital ,but could not find user .
In the past few months, Airtime monthly active users of only 11000 people, and the growth rate has not improved .Then ,the hearsay says ,company CTO is planning to leave a company ,Sean fanning also produced retreat meaning .
And just to get the financing ,Sean Parke ( Justin Timberlake in the film social networking plays the role) sat in Manhattan from the village house top ,lazily on the sofa ,next to his best friend and business partner Sean Fan Ning .
Two people are still full of spirit . successful entrepreneur finally went to the risk investment to the waste industry .It was too depressing , Sean Parke said, as the reputation of successful entrepreneurs ,how can you have the courage to proceed to the next business ? He was almost asks rhetorically .
The majority of entrepreneurs are not start again .Continue to begin all over again is to consume too much energy . His subtext is, for successful entrepreneurs are no longer venture this theory, he and Fan Ning is a counterexample .
On 1999, and together they created the online music company Napster .The company has subverted the entire online music industry ,but because of losing the copyright lawsuit and bankruptcy .
After more than 10 years, two people have joined forces again proved his courage and wisdom .Of course ,Silicon Valley also has a number of serial entrepreneurs ,such as the creation of Twitter and Square Jack Dorsey ( Jack Dorsey ) .
But more and more great entrepreneurs often choose to become a company operator ,or to invest in shares, in Silicon Valley, they are often transferred to the risk investment industry .For example ,PayPal co-founder Peter Til ( Peter Thiel ) ,through its own Founders Fund companies to invest in other companies ,such as Facebook and Spotify .
Those again and again from scratch ,long continued success person is less and less , Sean Parke said . I think of it, only to think of people who have apple ,Next and Pixar ( Pixar ) three companies in Jobs .
After leaving apple ,he founded Pixar ,then returned to the Apple Corp ,the Apple Corp has been previously associated with very different . Special mention is, the aforementioned Peter Til founded Founders Fund company ,and Sean Parke are related ,because this is Parke fund partner ,the fund has invested in Airtime company .
In Sean Parke Airtime is the next generation of Skype ,will redefine the way people exchange .However, things didn he imagined so beautiful .Now he is no longer on the sofa, but to interlink poineering stick still burning in his heart, it was a difficult time ,and not just for us ,as well as on Silicon Valley .
He said , do poineering work like chewing glass ,slowly you would like your blood . Because in his opinion ,and other entrepreneurs who want to make something good to Google ,Facebook ,their job is to inaugurate an era .
But Airtime difficulty is not because of confidence can be reduced ,which can personal variables .From Napster to Spotify ,Parke are merely to control the product orientation ,and tap the potential growth opportunity ,while the main helm for more proficient in leadership and the operation .
If there is no Sean fanning ,Mark Zuckerberg so highly strategic vision of the management ,there will be no Napster ,Facebook and Spotify .For this Parke also has its own view: staff instability for poineering enterprise is a normal ,we also constantly for each key positions and seek the right person .
As of now ,everything is not settled . I started operation from March this year, Airtime ,and Airtime listed only 12 weeks . For the future, to overcome difficulties ,Parke still have confidence .
Think again what he respected Jobs and apple ,you can see his ambition .Tired of Sean Parke in 2005 ,some just tired .At that time ,he just came from Facebook executive position withdrew, leaving his co-founded and became the future of new generation Internet giant company, he does have some tired ,because this is the third time he left the position author .
Firstly introduces to Parke Facebook is one of his friend ,although he was a social network of veterans ,he has served as a consultant for Friendster ,Friendster prior to Facebook social networking pioneer .
But Parke of Facebook fall in love at first sight ,although the start-up period of the company just out of the campus .Because he felt ,broad market of college students has been mature ,should have its own social networking site .
Then North Face Denali Hoodie Jackets Sale,he was sent to the Facebook company, in the spring of 2004 a Manhattan restaurant ,he and Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin ( Eduardo Saverin ) met .A few weeks later ,he accidentally in California Palo Artaud Street meets Zuckerberg and staff ,soon after they moved to another company co-founder Dustin moscowitz ( Dustin Moskovitz ) room -- live in Facebook rental house .
Parke helped Facebook established the minimalist style ,here I would like to mention Alan Xidige ( Aaron Sittig ) -- in his first Venture Company Napster understanding friend -- became the key architect of Facebook .
Parke insisted ,website must be smooth, add friends ,should as far as possible, convenient operation . We wanted to make it like a telephone service , Xidige said , do it hidden in the background .
Parke also helped Facebook Promo Photo Sharing function ,which he served as president of the company during the action of .Although only 24 years old, but in the Facebook that group of college students author ,Sean Parke is the senior business people .
He helped the founders in surrounding Silicon Valley build relationships Northface Windstopper Jackets,set up a router ,and meeting investors ,including Thiel ,Hoffman peace Cass et al .But a sudden accident ,in 2005 August, the North Carolina police in his name leased Residence Riviera found cocaine ,although he has nothing to do with ,but cocaine scandal, Facebook founder and investor a rift between Parke finally decided to resign ,and immediately moved to New York ,he said it was best for the company .
Parke himself thought that ,firms accelerated partnership ( Accel Partners ) did not play a good role ,because he forced them at a $100000000 valuation of investment ,at the time of this valuation looks high .
The Facebook from a university project into a real company in the process, Sean Parke played a pivotal role , Mark recalled Zuckerberg early experiences such evaluation , perhaps more importantly ,he helps us to ensure that any interested in investing in Facebook people ,not only in the investment in a company ,investment is a mission and vision ,namely through the share to make the world a more open .
Although no longer a Facebook employee ,Sean Parke continued as small puncture provide strategic advice ,and help to recommend executives .Parke Facebook made the greatest contribution is that he created the company structure -- Based on his experience at Plaxo -- accordingly ,Zuckerberg he founded the company has completely ,the permanent control, so that he need not worry about in the process of funding diluted control ,while he was on the board of directors control enough seats ,as long as you are willing to ,want to stay long in company .
The architecture of the Facebook to ensure that the mark can remain as strong as possible control, Sean has played a substantial role ,this is reflected not only in the he can get high value ,low dilution financing ,also reflected in the board of directors of the framework itself and some control over the details, Facebook joint founder Dustin moscowitz said , he had experienced Plaxo mess ,right of control is very sensitive .
Leave Facebook ,Sean Parke joined the Founders Fund fund ,henceforth a few years has been to make investment, including investment in Spotify and Votizen .In addition ,he also worked at the Causes site work .
Causes business for a variety of problems and nonprofit fundraising ,raising awareness of these issues and the cognitive organization .The company just muddle along ,Parke said he did not devote .
In the future, he recalls ,the majority of entrepreneurs to switch the investment practices are a complete escape . He explained his idea , you have a portfolio as a whole, but only focus on the successful part ,ignore fail ,you have to work hard to maintain the style of game player ,in fact it has lost control .
Keep the game player style ,is Sean Parke are good ,which not only refers to his work ,but his living conditions .According to Forbes magazine, he likes driving a luxury car ,passed the night under the misty Golden Gate Bridge ,to Marin County and go, there lies he covers an area of 18 acres .
This model is seemingly low-key ,which is hidden in the energetic Lamborghini engine ,Parke and white hands were not idle ,a hand wheel ,a hand with a car audio system ,in he uploaded into the thousands of songs selected favorite person .
1999 passion, Sean Parke ,and others just to upset the established order ,creating a new world of passion and dream .At that time he was a game player ,but in the Internet ,with another name for him this kind of person :the genius hacker .
The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) chief scientist ,the second grade in primary school when his father ,by using a Atari 800 computer teach programming .
In high school, Parke has the ability to invade the company and University system .At the age of 15 the hacking caused the United States Federal Bureau of investigation ( FBI ) attention ,was sentenced to community service .
At the age of 16 ,he developed a program ,won the Virginia prize in computer science .Then ,the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) intends to recruit him, but he ,but went to Mark Pincus in Washington D.
C. the Venture Company FreeLoader practice ,then in the early days of the Internet service provider UUNet to stay for a while . I didn go to school , he recalls Forbes , theory on I cooperation projects ,but actually it is the work .
And Gates ,little prick these dropped out of University and business leaders are not the same, Sean Parke simply did not enter the University threshold .When the three ,Parke has earned 80000 dollars ,which was enough to persuade parents allow him not to the University, but with the dial-up bulletin board system on friend Sean fanning cooperation ,common to create a music sharing site ,is also in 1999 launched Napster .
He put Napster as their growing university . This is a combination of the intellectual property law ,corporate finance ,business and law school education, crash course , Parke said , when I was a child ,don to do for the consequences ,which know writing some of their own email will appear in school textbooks .
Working for Napster ,Parke met angel investors Ron Conway ,from then on ,every one of Parke business was Conway support .The investment of over Google ,PayPal ,Twitter and FourSquare and many other star company investor said: we have experienced a lot of hardships .
Napster says with its is a company ,be inferior to saying is a 24 business hours of the circus -- a thought peculiar people together ,do not think that join is a Venture Company, but consider themselves part of a rebel ship full of social movement .
Parke said : I learned in Napster many things ,which do not . Sean Parke learned to do not point the Michael Kors Grayson Satchel,not in legal trouble .He is in the Napster period of the work of some mail that ,users may download music illegally ,may become copyright litigation evidence -- Napster eventually closed because of the lawsuit .
But then ,Parke has been the company hurried out ,moved to North Carolina, a Residence Riviera . Management told me to take a long vacation ,I don ,this basically is expelled from the euphemism .
This is Sean Parke has not learned, is with the management team to get along, can not be driven out .The story repeats in Plaxo .This is Parke trying to the creation of the first true companies -- to help users real-time updates mail list web service ,which is an early social networking tools, but also the first use of some viral marketing techniques -- LinkedIn ,Zynga and Facebook followed are indispensable for the development of such skills .
Parke said : Plaxo is like an independent band ,although unknown to the public ,but the other musicians influential . He said , to some extent ,Plaxo is the most let me proud of the company ,because it brought to the world most innovative .
But Parke soon quit the Plaxo ,Parke the person ,they draw Google former director Rahm Shi Rahm ( Ram Shriram ) to help manage the company ,the results of the latter was conspiracy to expel him company ,and deprived of their equity .
But Plaxo co-founder Todd Masonis ( Todd Masonis ) and Cameron ( Cameron Ring ) spirit lattice tell Forbes :Parke in the company of strategy formation and financing had played a key role in daily operation ,but there are not any experience , he often to the company ,even if the occasional trip, it is 11 p.
m. things, and he is not to do some work, but with a group of girls come to show off their office ,they are the company founder . Eager to contact with Sean Parke who is described him :volatile temperament ,irritability and uncertain ,easily angered investors -- the best support case he co-founded three companies will soon kicked him out .
His Silicon Valley entrepreneurial experience around the same theme :sharing and discovery .So his heart remained hacker qualities ,promoting his main motivation is not wealth, but the thirst for innovation .
Everything is just the probability of the event ,there is no certainty, so you never have that can control the outcome satisfaction .You spending time to maintain his reputation ,maintaining their own network of relationships UGG Ashur, and almost no time to think creatively ,also have no time to do business well .
He said .This may also explain his company daily operation and not good at .However ,he is very focused on their own network of relationships .His connections of amazing ,this is fate have farsightedness and sentimentally attached to the common result .
Teens, he worked in todayAngelo), Daniel Ecker (Daniel Ek), and Jim Braye (Jim Breyer) -- a number of the world Facebook co-founder Destin Moss Cu Weitz on his evaluation is : he is seen as an unknown quantity, and the risk of investors hoping to everything .
However ,the risk investor also like great ideas ,and it was Parke -- with business social networking site LinkedIn founder Reed Hoffman ( Reid Hoffman ) words, he is a super dreamer .
Parke has the ability to see most people don trends and signal ,for him, it is like listening to a dog whistle . Parke was not to regard it as right : I thought at the time ,and find a number of the world did not contact necessarily associated .
Parke on macro philosophy deeply interested, contact input years looking for the answer . For the evolution of history ,most of us have no objection, but the key is we want to understand how evolution .
Is this train of thought, let him select start point ,not as many blind mount a horse of entrepreneurs so hasty introduction of an innovation, so he continues in the most popular website creation -- although his critics think it is luck .
He perceived the world direction of development ,and then to think about, he is investment of a music company Spotify founder Daniel ,he said , if he thinks that the field can not achieve successful companies ,he founded a .
Parke said ,once successful entrepreneurs to create new companies ,the biggest challenge is they tend to be too much to consider risk protection ,from the beginning of the imaginary will fail .
He said ,fear of failure and it brings its own reputation is very dangerous . Expectations really let me feel pressure .I am afraid of losing hands again , . I must weigh ,own to try the road less travelled ,be willing to return to the origin of scratch entrepreneurs .
