have thirteen-plus companies which have gone from inception to selling for North of a billion dollars, including the last company we sold, in October of 2008, BillMeLater, which we sold to eBay for a billion dollars. I'd like to see Rubicon Project become a smashing success, which would be a victory for me. This morning's interview is with Mark Suster , a venture capitalist at GRP Partners (www.grpvc.com). GRP has just recently closed on a new $200M fund, and Mark has been one of the more active venture capitalists in the Los Angeles area in recent months.

I had to put together a video introduction for The Lobby conference again this year. I can't say much about The Lobby other than it is a get together of industry thought leaders to talk about the future of the Internet. I can't say much about it because it is supposed to be "off the record" and blogging, micro-blogging and reporting about the conference is strictly forbidden.
Anyway,

Although I try to keep this blog very focused on entrepreneurial lessons and stories, a lot of people have requested I share some of Rubicon Project's news on this blog. So, I'm going to label any Rubicon Project news with "Rubicon Project" first in the title for easy identification. I've been trying to figure out how I can balance both without compromising the lesson-oriented posts. I'

I can't believe it's been a year. When Craig, Julie and Duc and I got together a year ago we didn't have a business plan, we didn't have goals... actually, none of us were even looking to start a company in the first place.

We, at the Rubicon Project, moved into new office today. It is a very exciting day for us. Actually, liberating would be a more appropriate word. Before, we had 40 people squeezed into a 2,000 square foot office, designed to fit 15 people, max. Today, we moved into a 20,000 square foot office, 10X the size of the previous one.

Yesterday, our 1,000th customer went live here at the Rubicon Project. I have been blown away by how fast this team moves and how quickly we have ramped. So, I took a step back and asked myself, how did we go from zero to 1,000 customers in 6 months? The answer is that we have specifically focused on optimizing this company for speed.
