I'm saying there's plenty of money out there for great consumer entrepreneurs with great consumer products attacking really big markets.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The more entrepreneurs in the world that are getting their ideas financed, the more great companies there are going to be that we can all invest in.
I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.
You have to manage money. Particularly with market economies. You may have a great product, but if your bottom line goes bust, then that's it.
The best entrepreneurs I've ever met are all good communicators. It's perhaps one of the very few unifying factors.
I believe that entrepreneurs play an unmatched role and the accelerating pace of innovation is transforming the face of global challenges. You must think about the solution differently when you're trying to impact 1 billion people rather than affecting 1 million people.
It's really important that we have an ecosystem where small innovative entrepreneurs can develop new products and access consumers and have a chance to succeed.
You know, a lot of people are just interested in, in building a company so they can make money and get out.
What most entrepreneurs don't understand is that it isn't the economy that bursts a bubble, but investor psychology.
I suspect there's a lot of validity to the premise that big companies aren't going to attract entrepreneurial talent.
Big companies such as Google and Facebook buy startups at ridiculously high prices - not for their products, but for their people.
