Nirav Tolia was still in his 20s when he co-founded high-flying startup Epinions, which let users ask questions and post opinions about everything from books to banks to baby strollers. It became one of the bright lights of the dot-com era - raking in millions of venture capital dollars, going public in spectacular fashion and eventually selling to eBay for $600 million.
