Shortly afterwards Bezos told her his idea for selling books over the internet, and while admitting she had “no business sense whatsoever” MacKenzie said she could see “how excited he was” and agreed they should leave New York for Seattle to explore his idea.
婚后不久,贝佐斯告诉了妻子在网上卖书的想法。尽管承认自己“没什么商业头脑”,麦肯齐说能看出“他有多兴奋”,并同意离开纽约前往西雅图创业。
在接受采访时,麦肯齐介绍了亲历丈夫白手起家创建亚马逊的情景,“对我来说,亲眼看着你的另一半,并陪伴你爱的人来一次创业冒险——还有比这更好的感觉么”?
1994年,这对夫妇辞掉了工作,前往西雅图创建亚马逊。创业的头五年里,这对夫妇就挤在租来的一居室里。
麦肯齐是当时亚马逊的会计,也是亚马逊最早的员工之一。
Until he met MacKenzie in 1993, Bezos had attempted to apply analytics to finding love. He called it “women flow” and reckoned he could increase his attractiveness to women if he took up ballroom dancing.
