  1. He should let his hair grow on the sides more. Cultivate the Larry Fine look. With that skull of his it would be freaky yet awesome.

  2. Calling all entrepreneur's: Google, FB, Twitter and Reddit are engaged in MASSIVE CENSORSHIP and user MANIPULATION. In a market that has been completely dominated by these few companies they have foolishly created a large gap. A very basic customer need that they are no longer able to deliver. Please take the opportunity to innovate and bring trust, integrity, and privacy back to the Internet. I promise users will reward you.

  3. its not intimidating, of course can make suggestions etc, ts not idiotic, fool. The founders are not wussx, less tough etc

  4. Wow. Some eye opening comments, and some reallyy interesting information. Great talk overall

  5. Tech isn't in a bubble?! …does he have to say that because his job is partly about selling tech companies to Investment Banks?

    Everyone has "Users", yeh? Does he mean Signups or Monthly Active Users?

    Anyone who has run a tech startup knows that Users doesn't mean PAYING subscribers.
