You probably already heard of the fairy tale that Susan Wojcicki rented her garage to the Google founders and helped found Google Inc., but did you know that Susan also…

  • Introduced Sergey Brin to future wife Anne Wojcicki, Susan Wojocicki’s younger sister
  • Referred multiple family members to work at Google: “Susan Wojcicki’s husband, Dennis Troper, is an operations executive at Google. Brother-in-law Gregor (married to middle sister Janet) is a former Googler who worked in the finance department. Mom Esther Wojcicki, a teacher, has consulted for Google on educational issues.” [USAToday]

On a (kind of) related note, Google cuts Founders’ Awards.
