The Original Google Garage

Author Jessica Livingston discusses her book "Founders At Work:

Stories of Startups' Early Days" as part of the Authors@Google series. This

event took place on April 19, 2007, at Google's Mountain View, CA, headquarters.

She wrote the book because few understood what life was like at a startup. What happens first? No one knows except the founders and a few employees. Just as matter behaves in unusual ways under extreme conditons, startups are extreme in their productivity.
