Scott Hassan is an American computer scientist and entrepeneur.[1]
In the 1990s, when Hassan was working as a research assistant at Stanford University, his duties included rewriting the original code Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page had written for their PhD theses.[1] Hassan encouraged them to turn the code into an official product, and, although he was never an official Google employee, they allowed him to purchase 160,000 shares, for $800.
Hassan has been described as Google's third, unofficial founder.[1]
Hassan went on to found other companies, and to be an initial investor in other companies.[1]
