I believe that government plays a vital role in creating the platform environment for entrepreneurship, providing the legal and educational structures necessary for success.

Agency in entrepreneurship allows individuals to express their ideas and have a meaningful impact on the world, which is essential in today's economy. I've had seven startups that went from $0 to a million in their first 12 months and three that have gone over $10 million. I've also run an entrepreneur accelerator for 5,500 companies, so I spend a lot of time thinking about entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship can be learned, and creating dense connections within networks is essential for facilitating financing and talent acquisition.

To make real progress, we need both brilliant entrepreneurs and effective public policy to support innovation.

We have to recognize that the regulatory environment is crucial for fostering growth and innovation.

We believe that increasing ease and simplicity in starting a business leads to more startups and entrepreneurial energy.

The law protects entrepreneurs in America, allowing them to trust that if they succeed, they won't face government interference.

Entrepreneurs often start by addressing their own needs and then expand their solutions to help others, driven by a desire to make a positive impact on society.

I encourage international entrepreneurs to apply to programs like Y Combinator or 500 Startups, as they provide invaluable support and resources.
