Passion Quotes

I did interviews with most of the TechCrunch50 experts backstage and there was a common gripe about the companies launching there: Not enough passion, not enough swinging for the fences, not enough trying to change the world...

It was the most excited I saw an expert about anything over the two-day event.

You will triumph.
