I’ll tell you something very controversial, but now is the best time to invest in early-stage companies that we’ve had in the last decade, and I’ll tell you why: the best companies that were founded out of the last wave were started in 2008 through 2011, these are like the Ubers and the Yelps, when we just had this brand new technology reaching the forefront with having supercomputers in our pockets.

Same thing in the dot.com era right, those are the early days of the Googles and the Amazons of the world that had to learn how to be scrappy through [those] tough times and could accelerate out of it. And we’re seeing that today and this is what we’re educating a lot of our investors [on]. This is not a time to be playing on the sidelines.
