Many entrepreneurs, and the venture investors who back them, seek to build billion-dollar companies.

It's easy to say that entrepreneurs will create jobs and big companies will create unemployment, but this is simplistic. The real question is who will innovate.

There are immense numbers of potential entrepreneurs who can start their own businesses among the people who are working in large organisations.

In general, the more entrepreneurs we have, the better off we will be because the economy is driven by small businesses and creative ideas... I'm really excited about what the future holds for women entrepreneurship and to be a small part of that by helping Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba start their businesses.

Everybody could be an entrepreneur, but very few will become very rich entrepreneurs.

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.

While I wouldn't say that most entrepreneurs find it easy to get funding, there are certainly more people out there funding technology and healthcare companies than in other areas.

I suspect there's a lot of validity to the premise that big companies aren't going to attract entrepreneurial talent.

I've felt a little culpable that we entrepreneurs often invent businesses just to drive people to buy more things.

During dark times, real entrepreneurs come out. They are not competing with 10 look-alike companies for engineering talent, so it's a great time to invest and help build companies.
