— Paul Graham

And—another surprise—the chances of a new company surviving rises with the age of the entrepreneur.”
— Carl Schramm
“Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.”
— Thomas Edison

― Jeanne A. Estes
“Many of the entrepreneurs that we back are attacking a personal pain.”

— Reid Hoffman
