I feel incredibly lucky to be an investor during a time of unprecedented change. Today, we have three massive technology
platforms emerging simultaneously. First, mobility and the application economy are reinventing the Internet. Second,
enterprises are driving an unprecedented upgrade cycle to the Cloud. And finally, the Social Graph is rewriting
nearly every consumer service and enterprise application.
If you're an entrepreneur with a big vision that takes advantage of any of these new platforms, my partners and I would love to help you build your business.
