Ro Khanna

What auto and steel is to Ohio River Valley, refineries are to the oil regions. You wouldn't tell Silicon Valley you're going to put a moratorium on high-tech.

Gene Green

Our goal is to really have young women of color embrace the tech marketplace and the tech innovation space as both leaders and creators.

Kimberly Bryant

One goal for Silicon Valley must be to redouble our collective efforts to make sure people of all backgrounds are aware of opportunities in tech.

We have a huge tech following that do nothing but Digg tech stories, and then there's another pool of users that remove the tech section from their view of Digg, because you can go on and customize your own experience and remove sections you don't like.

Kevin Rose

The best training ground in the world is Silicon Valley and the tech space.

Kimbal Musk

We're pretty broad as investors. Our thesis is work with great entrepreneurs that believe they can change the world. But there are specific areas that we get excited about - areas like hard tech, deep tech, companies that deal with really difficult technology, etc.

David Cohen

Silicon Valley is the best place to start a tech company in so many ways.
