The goal shouldn't be to be the next Silicon Valley (there'll always only be one of those) - it's to be your own startup community.

I try to help founders as much as I can, but so many of us we won't even take meetings with people who still just have an idea, because everyone has an idea.

If I'm at the University of Georgia and I can't inspire this room full of students, OK, fine. I'm not going to take it personally. Maybe a little bit, but I'll be all right.

If I didn't believe in rooting for founders and investing in founders, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite.

If you want to succeed, you've got to be okay to just lose control.

The great thing about the Internet is, it's the freest marketplace of ideas that there is.

The reality is, there's still so much we haven't yet figured out. There's still so much stuff that has not been made more, frankly, efficient.
