PHOTO: APSTRA By DON CLARK Updated March 29, 2016 8:29 p.m. ET Computer scientist David Cheriton has been a quiet force behind the scenes in Silicon Valley for decades, using his brains and bank account to fund vendors of equipment that transmits data between computers and over the Internet. Now he wants the customers of those suppliers to feel free to shop elsewhere. The Stanford University professor, whose early investment in Alphabet Inc.’s Google helped make him a multibillionaire, recently bankrolled a startup called Apstra, which has been working on software for managing networking devices from multiple vendors. Apstra’s software makes it easier to integrate equipment from various suppliers as better options come along, Mr. Cheriton said. It could reduce customers’ reliance on vendors like Cisco Systems Inc. —which first made Mr. Cheriton wealthy in 1996 when it bought a startup he co-founded—and Arista Networks Inc., a leading maker of network switches that he co-founded in 2004.

This is the July 17, 2015. I'm Doug Fairbairn, along with Uday Kapoor. And we're here to interview Andreas Bechtolsheim, otherwise known as Andy Bechtolsheim, who has had a long and extensive career in Silicon Valley, and we'd like delve into the details of that, but also go back to the very beginning in terms of-- I understand you grew up and you were born and grew up in southern Germany-- and so we'd actually like to start the interview back then. I think you were-- well, tell me about the environment. It was not a technical environment that you grew up in. Is that correct? Andy Bechtolsheim: Yes. I grew up on a farm in Bavaria. My dad was an elementary school teacher and my mom was a housewife. We didn't run the farm, it was leased to a farmer, but it was great environment. The farm was a mile away from the next village and we couldn't see another house from our house. We looked out on beautiful meadows, forests and the Alps in the distance. Fairbairn: Sort of idyllic scene. Bechtolsheim: Yes the nature was idyllic. There wasn't much interaction with other people, but that did not bother me since I was mostly interested in understanding how things worked. As early as I could remember, like four or five, I started taking things apart and putting them back together just to see what was inside.

    Stanford eCorner Google History Larry Page, Google; Eric Schmidt, Google May 01, 2002 Video URL: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/1077/Google-History Larry Page and co-founder Sergey Brin started Google while at Stanford working on their PhD's. When the company grew too big to be run from their dorm rooms, the founders made a pitch to a computer science professor who wrote them a $100,000 check on the spot. As of 2002, it is a company of almost 400 people, it handles over 1500 million searches a day, and it has been profitable for over a year. Transcript So I knew you guys would ask me about Google. So I will try to give you a very quick summary here. In fact we started at Stanford. Sergei and I started working on Google in 1995 as grad students; his PhD is in Computer Science. That was our dorm stage. We eventually had so many people using Google that we had to commercialize it. And one day on a porch in Palo Alto, David Cheriton's fax number here and Andy Bechtolsheim we had a meeting with them and they said, "Oh yeah, we should invest in this." and in fact David Cheriton wrote us a $100,000 check made out to Google. At the time we had no company at all and in fact we couldn't cash the check. Despite of it with no legal documents and none of that stuff and it's quite an event and eventually we then got incorporated, we eventually moved in to half of someone's house and we had a garage and we eventually then moved in to Palo Alto and we kept growing all the while, traffic was growing and so on and finally moved in to a big corporate park in Mountain View where we are now with I say almost 400 people.
