Tech Quotes

I’m kind of a tech geek. With the camera work, I chose to shoot super 16, which has a real tactile feel. I feel it’s as authentic as possible; I love the way the grain feels Picture Quote #1

An MBA is a great degree for career paths like investment banking, finance, consulting, and large companies. An MBA is not necessarily the right path for starting a tech company. You should be building a prototype, not getting an MBA in that case Picture Quote #1

I can’t apply $3 billion in capital to the tech industry. It wouldn’t work. But in infrastructure, education, I can make a real difference. I can change someone’s life, for the better, permanently. If I can improve a kid’s education, I can increase their salary later on and for decades Picture Quote #1

For resourceful tech founders, finding capital is rarely a problem; making the best use of it is another story. A few years slinging pepperoni pies and chicken wings - on tiny margins and with minimal investment - might not be the worst fiscal training Picture Quote #1

One day, people in China may be able to see the records of conversations between multinational tech companies and the Chinese authorities Picture Quote #1

My family know not to get me any tech for Christmas. I can never get it to work, and it all becomes very tearful and pressurised Picture Quote #1

The tech community is a closely knit group, which is why it’s so powerful. All of these companies have an affinity for each other, even if they compete with each other Picture Quote #1

Those companies that don’t see the black and brown communities are missing, out of their closed eye, talent, which leads to money and growth. When baseball, football and basketball couldn’t see the field, they missed talent and growth. The same is true in the tech industry Picture Quote #1

Obama will win the 2012 election, thanks in part to the tech community rallying behind him due to issues like SOPA, visas, and free speech Picture Quote #1

Tech companies don’t exist in a bubble; they draw from and feed into a larger community. Ideally, the relationship is symbiotic Picture Quote #1

When my company was first getting off the ground, we were completely lost in the shuffle, despite our best efforts. In 2012, however, we had a 28-foot-long, 15,000-pound secret weapon. To stand out amid the gala parties and blow-out bashes hosted by much bigger tech companies, HootSuite decided to take to the streets Picture Quote #1

Tech executives have historically been owners of significant portions of their companies’ stock so there is a propensity for them to diversify as a rule Picture Quote #1

Learn computer science. It’s extraordinarily helpful. I like recommending learning economics as well so they think in terms of business, they have rational frameworks for looking at the world, but yeah, computer science is an amazing way to get into, even if you want to be CEO, having a tech background is helpful Picture Quote #1

I know about the tech industry in that I follow what apps are hot and software development. I know my way around different browsers. I know how to restart a computer Picture Quote #1

You know, my degrees are in computer engineering. I spent a lot of time in the tech industry. And I like to say that I don’t invest in tech because I spent time in it. And I saw firsthand that the durability of technology moats is many times an oxymoron Picture Quote #1

I’m a physicist and computer scientist by training. I worked in high tech for thirty years as everything from engineer to senior vice president - for many of those years, writing SF as a hobby - until, in 2004, I began writing full time Picture Quote #1

While I’m a venture capitalist who invests in early-stage tech companies, I often feel like a professional emailer and conference call maker. I try to spend most of my time doing whatever the companies we are investors in need me to do Picture Quote #1

A conservative vision to tech issues assumes the imperfection of mankind and a preference for markets - not politics - to drive outcomes Picture Quote #1

The tech industry - and, more specifically, Silicon Valley - continues to stumble forward in earnest about how few women are represented in its top ranks of management and on its boards Picture Quote #1

L.A. has always had a ton of creative business people, but tech has always been trumped by Hollywood. Now Hollywood is realizing it needs to be smarter in tech. Hollywood is finally crossing over, and it’s really going to charge L.A. to be the next tech center Picture Quote #1

There’s a toxicity within gaming culture, and also in tech culture, that drives this misogynist hatred, this reactionary backlash against women who have anything to say, especially those who have critiques or who are feminists Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to overestimate how much the perception of the quality of the V.C. firm you’re with matters - the signal it sends to other V.C.s, to potential employees, to customers, to the tech press. It’s like where you went to college Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve done a good job in the industry from the standpoint of employee morale and customer satisfaction, and as an innovative thinker in tech Picture Quote #1

When I was a young man in the 1970s, tech firms were scattered across the developed world. Since then, America has come to dominate tech almost totally Picture Quote #1

Ninety percent of all people under 30 are in developing countries, and that means that this new access to tech, which is such a positive thing... is also a ticking time bomb of frustration... You get this clear mismatch of opportunity and expectation Picture Quote #1

In the developing world, people often use quite basic technology. Many of the most imaginative schemes are using what we’d count as old tech Picture Quote #1

Silicon Valley isn’t the only game in town. Tech is increasingly decentralized. Around the world, new tech centers with younger companies are able to embrace a different approach to talent: recruit locally, identify homegrown prospects and, in a phrase, bring them along for the ride Picture Quote #1

Without grounding, it’s easy to embrace the ‘baller’ lifestyle: dropping out of tech, throwing money at cars, boats and real estate, and slipping into a cycle of spending and indulgence Picture Quote #1

With tech companies, whoever’s the leader is always questioned, you know. They say, ‘Is this the end of them?’ And - there’s more - more times people think that’s the case than it really is the case Picture Quote #1

In a high tech world the cure for the tragic shortcomings and perilous fallacies of human intuition is education, but education in economics, evolutionary biology, probability and statistics - unfortunately most High School and College curricula have barely changed since Medieval times!
