The West coast money and the East coast money, in an ever-increasing manner, is finding its way to Chicago.

The big success stories - Facebook, Zynga and Twitter - are leading to investing in ideas on a napkin, because no one wants to miss out on the next big thing.

I think there are four or five interesting pockets where a lot of cool technology companies are getting started. Chicago is one of them. New York is certainly another. Silicon Valley really dominates. And you're seeing some stuff out of Boston and Seattle and down South.

I've been part of founding three companies that have gone public. It doesn't seem like a big number, but it's actually a lot.

To me, no one has fully cracked the code on social recruiting yet.

I'm going to be in technology for a long time.

I'm going to start a lot of companies. These are not sham companies. These are great businesses.
