“The venture industry is both quite vibrant and quite competitive.” — Douglas Leone Quote

“The venture industry is both quite vibrant and quite competitive.”

“We have co-opted seed funds. You know, Y Combinator, that was completely our money. We have secret handshakes with a whole bunch of people. Very dangerous, because word gets out that so-and-so's money is Sequoia's money, that would not be a good thing.”

“Guys like me on the investor side are a dime a dozen.”

“My goal is to improve my game, stay healthy and be competitive. If I have that, I know I can be able to win tournaments, which in the end is what it counts.”

“I love the sport and being competitive.”

“I am competitive because it is fun, a mentality thing, and it is something you have to be in this job.”
