He Built $100B at Google, Then Failed. Now He Runs an $80B+ Company | Snowflake, Sridhar Ramaswamy

Sridhar Ramaswamy has seen both sides of building.At Google, he helped scale one of the most important businesses in the history of the internet. Then he left to build Neeva, a search engine that tried to take on Google itself.Neeva did not become the company he hoped it would be.But for Sridhar, that failure was not the end of the story. The team, lessons, and conviction from Neeva eventually became part of his next chapter at Snowflake, where he now leads the company into the AI era.In this conversation, Sridhar shares what he learned from Google, why every startup is an act of belief, what it really means to build a 10x product, and why founders have to remember that they are more than their failures.Topics:00:00 You Are More Than Your Failures01:48 Find Work That Makes Time Stand Still03:14 Reinventing Himself as a Software Engineer05:03 3 Leadership Principles for the AI Era06:08 Why Great Leaders Stay Close to the Product07:45 Hiring People Who Can Adapt09:23 From Google’s $100B Plan to Founder Failure10:36 When Mobile Almost Broke Google’s Business11:04 Why He Left Google to Build Neeva11:33 Why Neeva Failed and What I Learned13:34 How to Keep Building After Failure15:08 You Are More Than Your Successes, Too#snowflake #founder #lesson EO stands for Entrepreneurship & Opportunities.
