Not many internet companies from the past 30 years conjure up the allure of Yahoo. The tech pioneer was the first guide for people to the fast-growing internet in the mid to late 1990s. Along the way came legendary products such as Yahoo.com, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News and Yahoo Mail. These timeless products endure today as the go-to trusted guide for millions of people around the world in their respective categories. Amidst its rocketship-like success also came a dose of fascinating headlines in the 2000s, ranging from an offer by Microsoft (MSFT) to buy the company for $45 billion and a decision to make an early investment in then Jack Ma-led upstart Alibaba (BABA). In the milestone 100th episode of the Opening Bid vodcast, Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Yahoo co-founder and AME Cloud Ventures Founding Partner Jerry Yang. Yang shares leadership lessons learned from the early days of Yahoo and how the next generation of entrepreneurs could apply them to achieve success in the era of AI. Yang also wades into the outlook for the internet as it continues to experience disruption amid the rise of AI and ChatGPT. While Yang reflects fondly on his time creating the Yahoo juggernaut, he has since gone on to be an early-stage investor in many of the companies powering the world today, such as Zoom (ZM). Yang offers insight into how he is investing today and why.
