Show Quote:

"I didn't want to put the company in Nevada. It's hard to justify that to a board of directors of investors...when the tax delta at full capacity was more than a million dollars a year."

"Entrepreneurs take their ideas to where they can get the money... period... full stop"

"If we create a startup technology fund here that's got the backing of global industry and local investors, and the government, I think we have a game-changer that starts attracting, and building on that fly wheel."
