I'm trying to learn from various corners of the world.
From Yuri Milner
I'm just focused on exploring new opportunities.
I am not an oligarch. I am a servant and I try to align my interests and those of my investors.
I have invested in four social networks. More than any other.
The largest newspaper in the United States is only reaching 1 percent of population. We are kind of assuming that 'Wall Street Journal,' 'USA Today,' and other newspapers are very important. Yes, they're extremely important, but only to 1 percent of the population on a daily basis.
There is a significant momentum behind the social Internet. A wide range of public investors were very enthusiastic about that.
I must analyze, from what I do now, what will be the impact two or three or five years in the future. What is the statement I want to make?
It's not about revenues: The fundamental economics in digital business is scale and margins. The top line has become the bottom line.
I think top scientists need to be compensated at a different scale in society. Somebody with experience will tell you that true scientists are not motivated by money - they are motivated by the quest itself. That is true. But I think an additional recognition will not hurt.
Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.
