“From toggling a bootstrap program into an 8bit computer, to instantly connecting with friends through Twitter and Facebook, I've been fascinated by advances in computer software that change the world. I gravitate toward young entrepreneurs who have 'over the horizon radar,' who see how technology disrupts existing markets and creates game-changing business opportunities.”
