I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial engineering.

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.

As I continue to believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are the key drivers to our economic future, it's frustrating to hear such little cogent discussion around it.

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

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

More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.

I don't think a lot of people have been entrepreneurial about venture capital.

Academics are becoming much more entrepreneurial these days.

A lot of people who own a business aren't entrepreneurial at all.

I always look at a group of people who want to attempt an enterprise greater than their means. They begin on this enterprise and they fail.
