I think because of the iPhone and the fact that we now have a ubiquitous internet, our creativity in the startup space is 10 times different. Every single industry, every single market, is going to be technology-driven in some way. There's an infinite opportunity for startups because now you can go and solve problems that previously looked like they had nothing to do with technology.

Better to be right about the trend and wrong about the implementation, than the other way around.

All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.

I think I'm the kind of person who would be very difficult to employ - I'm pretty annoying, but driven.

You want to find the really crazy but still somewhat reasonable outliers within the customer ecosystem.

If there could've ever been a magical time to build an enterprise software company, now is absolutely that time.

I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.
