8 We have a long history of making mistakes too BVP's Pete Bancroft never quite settled on terms with Bob Noyce, who instead took venture financing from a guy named Arthur Rock. "Stamps? Coins? Comic books? You've GOT to be kidding," thought BVP s David Cowan. "No-brainer pass." Incredibly, BVP passed on Federal Express seven times. Cowan s college friend rented her garage to Sergey and Larry for their first year. In 1999 and 2000 she tried to introduce Cowan to these two really smart Stanford students writing a search engine. Students? A new search engine? In the most important moment ever for Bessemer s anti-portfolio, Cowan asked her, How can I get out of this house without going anywhere near your garage? Facebook Co-Founder Eduardo Saverin spent his summer chasing down BVP s Jeremy Levine who thought, a social network for college students? Who needs that?!. bvp.com/portfolio/anti-portfolio
