If a founder has passion and innovation, he needs to be supported. I am more intuitive than a numbers person, and I recognise that not all investments are going to be positive. Some may fail, and some may have problems for other reasons. That is life.

I came seriously close to getting married four times, and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another.
