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

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

By welcoming eager, talented workers, we expand America's potential for growth, and our competitive culture of invention and possibility.

I really don't have a lot of interest in national politics, and it's because I'm a skeptic. I think you can accomplish a lot more locally. I don't want to spin the wheels and not get anything done.

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.

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.'

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