Kevin OConnor To Entrepreneurs: Dont Be Afraid To Throw A Turd In The Punch Bowl

Screen shot 2011-09-14 at 11.46.24 AMOn stage today at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, Kevin O'Connor, the former Co-founder of and current Founder and CEO of FindTheBest, offered some pointed advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. Having co-founded DoubleClick, which was acquired by Google in 2007 for over $3 billion, O'Connor said that a lot of people think he has more money -- and perhaps more brains -- than he really does. He was being modest, of course, but the truth is that DoubleClick sold twice, and the co-founder was not part of DoubleClick's second, more lucrative sale to Google. Engineers, which O'Connor is by background, do not always make the savviest businessmen, he said, but they sure can be quotable.
