The Silent Heroes behind YouTube
Behind every huge success, are some silent super-heroes: 
In Youtube's case (The acquisition) I vote for Roelof Botha:
- He's the VC behind the success story
- Has been Partner in Sequoia only 3 years
- He's 35 years old
- He invested in youtube less than 2 years ago, and now made the most impressive exit of the year
- His background - was CFO of Paypal (at 29), and previously a management consultant with McKinsey
Not bad at all...
This brings Sequoia $480M... (A nice piece will end up with the GP Superheroes...)
