The more angels we have in Silicon Valley, the better. We are funding innovation. We are funding the next Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

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

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

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 an investor I cannot tell that. We cannot predict the success or failure.

I invest because I love helping entrepreneurs and watching them learn and succeed. In my opinion your motives are driven by self serving factors around ego satisfaction and "making a buck". My motives and values are very different.

I think for technology and innovation we have to ignore politics.
