I don't think a lot of people have been entrepreneurial about venture capital.
There is no country in the world where it's as easy to find venture capital in the stock market as the United States.
I'd been a great angel investor, but professional venture capital was clearly not the right thing for me.

You cannot have development in today's world without partnering with the private sector.

The great corporations of this country were not founded by ordinary people. They were founded by people with extraordinary intelligence, ambition, and aggressiveness.
