"Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" (quickly renamed Yahoo) was the first commercial project of its grad-student co-founders, and was pretty big within the first year (big enough for Ziff-Davis to launch a companion Yahoo print magazine). IPO'd about two years after launch. Mostly good timing imo; they caught the internet wave with a decently organized web directory.
