The tech community is a closely knit group, which is why it's so powerful. All of these companies have an affinity for each other, even if they compete with each other.

As the tech industry continues to grow and sprout successful startups across the country, it is important that we understand our responsibility to affect positive change in our communities.

Entrepreneurs, because they need money, they are willing to share their crystal ball with someone like me. That's the best thing ever.

Any time is a good time to start a company.

As a founder you have to build a team some day, so why not start the day you found the company?

Have a huge work ethic, be ambitious, aggressive, tough.

Tech people like to stick to their knitting, and they measure their accomplishments by the growth of their company. Now the tech community is popping up and saying, 'We do need to be involved in our surroundings.'
