In 1999, at a start-up on Henry Street called Grand Illusion Studios, owned by Don Marinelli and Scott Stevens, I invented the YouTube Brand. In 2005, I contacted Chad Hurley at PayPal and told him my idea. I asked for 1%, which has never been paid. I had to finish my degree, so I didn't start the company.
