Netflix founder says he almost dropped out of Stanford for a different business: ‘I was equally as committed to that terrible idea'

Netflix founder says he almost dropped out of Stanford for a different business: ‘I was equally as committed to that terrible idea'. He believed in its potential so much, he said, that he almost dropped out of grad school to build a company around it."It was a terrible idea, but I was equally committed to that terrible idea as I was to Netflix," he said.

In the case of the foot mouse, Hastings was a Stanford graduate student at the time, working toward his master's in computer science. He felt like he was wasting time transitioning between his keyboard and his mouse, he said: He'd have to stop typing, move the mouse and then refocus on coding. "It was those kinds of experiences that made me want to create things," Hastings said."Only later did I realize you have to sell them."
