Steve Jurvetson (Stephen T. Jurvetson) Quotes

The future will be less predictable, forecast rises will shrink, company lifetimes will shrink, new entrants will proliferate and it’s going to just get more unpredictable.

But for startups this is great, because it’s a perpetual driver of disruption.
