Bitcoin is absolutely the Wild West of finance, and thank goodness. It represents a whole legion of adventurers and entrepreneurs, of risk takers, inventors, and problem solvers. It is the frontier. Huge amounts of wealth will be created and destroyed as this new landscape is mapped out.
I've been all over the world meeting with companies and startups and entrepreneurs. And I tell you, they are more similar than different.
Whatever the reasons, would-be entrepreneurs should be forewarned. Going into business for yourself isn't just risky because your business might fail. It's risky because you might have a harder time getting a job in the future, even if you succeed with your company.
In the new economy, we all have to be entrepreneurs with our own lives - with all the rewards and risks and, yes, anxieties that entails.

We gravitated to the idea of social entrepreneurs when it was a fairly nascent thing. We began to build the organization, focused on investing in and celebrating social entrepreneurs. Not long after that, we realized there was another opportunity to help bring them together and tell their stories.
I learned the power of 'no.' No is really important. Entrepreneurs are told to say 'yes, yes, more, more.'
All good entrepreneurs have to start somewhere with a dedicated plan to finish in a great place.
We worked personally with a lot of great VCs. They just work incredibly hard at supporting entrepreneurs and their companies.

I know the rewards of focusing on innovation and outcomes as opposed to hours. I've been fortunate to work with brilliant entrepreneurs who didn't have years of experience, and yet they changed the world.

We're really willing to see more and more U.S. entrepreneurs conducting investments in Turkey. I'm optimistic for the future.
My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.
The best entrepreneurs I've ever met are all good communicators. It's perhaps one of the very few unifying factors.

Entrepreneurs are more likely to be successful if they're able to be present while pitching their ideas. It's about maintaining presence during big challenges - very high stakes moments with some component of social judgment. Everyone has them, whether they're entrepreneurs or not.
Increasingly, I'm inspired by entrepreneurs who run nonprofit organizations that fund themselves, or for-profit organizations that achieve social missions while turning a profit.
We believe strongly that all meaningful change comes from entrepreneurs.
