Loïc Le Meur: what is this with you investing in an F1 racing team? Chad Hurley: it's an opportunity I came across, and I'd been wanting to do something related to sports, I just couldn't decided which one. I really wanted to see how I could apply my knowledge in the video space to sports.
How does one convince Chad Hurley to invest in their company? Well I'm not investing in many companies, I just wanted to see things shaken up in totally different market, something you can build from the ground up. How much did you invest and how did it come about? I can't get into details, but it sure is an expensive sport. How much time is left for YouTube?
