The more entrepreneurs in the world that are getting their ideas financed, the more great companies there are going to be that we can all invest in.
When I see people laughing at ideas and companies we have backed, I smile. It means we are going to make a lot of money on that investment.
If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
I use beauty as a way of helping people to receive difficult or upsetting ideas. The topical issues are merely a vehicle for making one aware of one's own perceptual shift-which is the real thrill.
