The period sign on the façade says ‘John F Dahl Plumbing and Heating (since 1895)’. He works out of a squat, grey, converted plumbing-supply store in Palo Alto, California, that doesn’t call attention to the fact that his startup, Cyanogen, is housed inside. In black jeans, a black hoodie that looks a half-size too small, brown Birkenstock sandals and a pair of fat black rings-one on his left thumb, one on his right pinkie-the 46-year-old looks more like a techno beach bum than an entrepreneur. He tends to run on his own schedule, and when he shows up 20 minutes late for a meeting on a recent weekday, there’s not so much as a mention of his tardiness, let alone an apology.
It’s a little hard to take Kirt McMaster seriously at first.
