“There will always be a capital shortage from the perspective of entrep...” — David Cohen Quote

There will always be a capital shortage from the perspective of entrepreneurs.

My attitude is there are at least hundreds of interesting startups that are going to get going in every year.

There are not enough female VCs in an industry so traditionally dominated by males. There are not enough female mentors who are actively engaged with female founders. We need women VCs and entrepreneurs to stand up, get loud, and help guide their peers.

When we talk about Techstars, we think of it as this worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed.

We've been publishing the TechStars data fully since the beginning on TechStars.com. For every single company, you can see if it's a failure, success, how much they raised. Entrepreneurs deserve that sort of transparency from accelerators, and it's not hard to do.

I'm not interested in doing something edgy with a capital E just so everyone knows, 'Oh, OK, now he's showing us he can do edgy.'

It may be no surprise that Pittsburgh has direct flights to London, Paris and Frankfurt, but consider this: many of the tourists here have come from Europe to the capital of culture in the Alleghenies.

I guess I could sit around and say, 'Gee, I wish I were playing at the Capital Centre tonight instead of Hammerjacks,' but it doesn't happen.

It's time to join the ranks of nations that have put the ugliness of capital punishment behind them.

Like every other sovereign nation, Israel has the right to determine its own capital.
