AdMob MafiaEdit

The large acquisition price paid for AdMob, in fast appreciating Google stock, comparatively soon after incorporation (4 years), resulted in a generous distribution of the sales proceeds to its early hires. Many have since become prolific investors in technology startups, and are known in London as the AdMob Mafia,[14]a reference to the well known Paypal Mafia. In particular Chung Man TangRussell Buckley, Jules Maltz and Charles Yim have become very involved in investing and advising startups, with Russell Buckley taking a role advising the British Government[15] on venture investment in the UK's technology ecosystem.
