Entrepreneurs, because they need money, they are willing to share their crystal ball with someone like me. That's the best thing ever.
From Ron Conway
You can't learn to be ambitious and driven.
All the biggest companies are based on a founder who had a need, hacked it together, and said, 'Hey, other people might want this.'
I couldn't care less who is mad at me as long as the entrepreneur comes out ahead.
I started sfCiti because I believed that technology companies needed to take a 'One City' approach and build a shared sense of community and civic responsibility in San Francisco.
I am most proud of what sfCiti has accomplished with the 'Circle the Schools' program, which engages companies to enter into long-term partnerships with San Francisco public schools, using an adopt-a-school model.
Cities like New York have already followed San Francisco and have started similar organizations like sfCiti; New York has TECH NYC.
I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.
Facebook is becoming the web. Everything you need is there... it is the universe.
When you first meet an investor, you've got to be able to say in one compelling sentence - that you should practice like crazy - what your product does, so that the investor that you are talking to can immediately picture the product in their own mind.
