Vision

I believe that starting a company to create value, or joining a startup to further its value is the most important thing in the professional world. Whether you’re working on a plugin, a micro-loan app for 3rd world countries, or making a really cool toy: you’re building, you’re creating, you’re bringing something to life. Your work supports your local economy, helps your customers, and solves a problem.

When I read of tragedy and strife in the world, whether corporate graft, government injustice, rising inequality, I see opportunity for people to use technology to shine a light into dark places. For every chart I see about the fall of the middle class in America, I see another dozen about the rise of startups and entrepreneurship.

I believe that startups are going to save America from a downward spiral of inequity. I believe startups are going to rescue the middle class. I believe startups are going to empower people—regular people like you and me—to once again directly influence government. And I believe that through innovation, startups are going to transform the world, giving the opportunity for all people to grow, learn, and earn.
