Jeff Ullman

Jeff Ullman appears in Ron Conway on Google’s Early History and SV Angel’s Role as a Stanford University professor named by Ron Conway in the early Google research context. Conway says Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Rajiv Motwani, and Ullman co-authored a paper titled “What Can You Do With a Web in Your Pocket?”

The episode uses Ullman less as an independent biography than as evidence that Google emerged from a dense Stanford research environment. His mention supports the broader Stanford Startup Sourcing and PageRank Search Relevance branch.
