Symmetric started when an engineer at National Semiconductor invited William to meet with a famous venture capitalist at Mayfield in Menlo Park. William quit National the following day. Pre-funding in 1982-83, Symmetric ran out of a tiny Los Gatos office, and built a wire-wrap prototype from nothing. William was the sole manager, wrote and sold 8 different business plans, and presented them to 18 different venture capitalists, putting 180,000 miles on a car without leaving the San Francisco Bay Area. |
