In Silicon Valley, we have a special word for a failed entrepreneur – it’s called experienced. - Steve Blank

Money is the lifeblood of startups. You stay in business until you run out of it.

There are several generations of Silicon Valley CEOs who "pay-it-forward." It’s an understood, underground thing you don’t talk about. You give back to younger founders and entrepreneurs without asking for anything. The goal is to pass on what we learned to make our startup ecosystem better.

I’ve watched how, in a blink of an eye, technology went from products used by the very few, to ending up in the pockets of billions, bringing social change and corporate disruption.
