Omar Hamoui on entrepreneurship
Omar Hamoui is the founder of AdMob, the world’s largest mobile ad broker. AdMob was founded in early 2006 and are now over 100 employees. A success no doubt, especially as Google (with its Adwords/Adsense) doesn’t seem to be able to knock AdMob from the top position, and to my knowledge AdMob is quite profitable.
Interesting “solve my own problem” starting point: “Omar Hamoui wanted to build traffic for his mobile site. He encountered complexity and fragmentation - it was just too hard to engage users. AdMob was born to remove roadblocks and enable mobile web businesses.”
Distorted by marketing speak (“engage users”?), but nevertheless indicates Omar had a real need of ads himself.
