I live a fairly simple life, and that didnt change much after I sold TechCrunch in 2010. I didnt buy a new house or even a new car. The one thing I did splurge on was a boat. Nothing too fancy or large.

There are lots of things that I will probably never experience in this life. Military combat. Being dictator of a small central American country. Dunking a basketball. Being a famous rock star. Or walking on Mars. But one thing I have been, and will always be, is an entrepreneur.

We live in a world where you're not being eaten by a lion when you fail, you just have to get another job.

Just pick a political story at random and read the comments. There is no logic or reason on either side - only hypocrisy and hate.

Most of the money I make now comes from investments from CrunchFund. And the vast majority of that is what's called carried interest.

Im nearly certain that Google accessed my Gmail account after I broke a major story about Google.

The problem isn't that Silicon Valley is keeping women down or not doing enough to encourage female entrepreneurs. The opposite is true. No, the problem is that not enough women want to become entrepreneurs.
