Helping people getting a great start in life, a great foundation, is an investment.

Technology does more than delight, entertain and make our lives more convenient, it's also an agent for social good. That is why it's important for tech startups to stay informed about, and make a mark on, policies that impact them.

We're starting to see a renaissance of investors embracing the idea that scientists can build businesses.

There would really be no reason to get up in the morning if Founders Fund was not willing to invest in companies that were doing important things, great businesses that very few people believe in.

The more angels we have in Silicon Valley, the better. We are funding innovation. We are funding the next Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

It helps to have founded and run a company if you're going to help somebody run a company who is a founder.

All the biggest companies are based on a founder who had a need, hacked it together, and said, 'Hey, other people might want this.'

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.

Ask any venture capitalist, and they will tell you that they consider the experience and completeness of the founding team to be a more important factor in their investment decision than the technology that is being built.

I've always felt that technology can be used to our benefit and should be used to our benefit.
