"If Slide cashes out for $1.5 billion, Levchin 'would regard it as abject failure'," Slide investor David Weiden of Khosla Ventures told BusinessWeek in 2007.
Wow, talk about hype. That kind of quote is like bubble era speculation, just feeding the frenzy. I always wondered why Slide was kept in such high regard when all they made was slideshows and facebook apps. I mean, sure the guy has a reputation, but what were they making that was so noteworthy and game changing?
