I've tended to work at fast-growing companies that improve the way business gets done.

Great companies have to manage the cadence of what they do.

Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference.

In the technology world, you have to execute fast or you're out of business.

There's something about the good-hearted guy fighting the system. I just love that. That's how 'Speed' is. He's a really focused guy with a heart of gold and the corporations are trying to crush him and use him for his skills to make them more money.

By definition, as a company scales rapidly, it adds people quickly.

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

I've witnessed first hand the impact the Benchmark team has had on new ventures, and I believe their commitment to the entrepreneur and dedication to building companies of lasting value really set the firm apart.

I definitely see a correlation between how many things a company gets right and how fast a company grows.

I see easyHotel as one of the best, most natural extensions of the 'easy' brand from the airline. EasyHotel is raising money to accelerate growth at a much faster rate than I could have grown it as a private company, whilst enabling me to spend more time on my diversified portfolio of other investments.
