Fred's thoughts on wanting only 10% of his portfolio companies going public are very important. A quote from Bill Gurley's blog brings up an interesting point: "The problem is not that Wall Street doesn’t want IPOs, it is the opposite; we are not offering them enough of it. You simply cannot have a healthy IPO market if the leading high-quality companies are unwilling to file." This could be a product of the beating that public companies have taken in the market over the past few years.

@G58 The one John says was by Colin Powell. It is was by Edison and goes "innovation without execution is hallucination." If he wanted to quote Colin Powell he should have said weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is a hallucination.

Innovation without execution is hallucination? If we are inclined to devalue innovation then tell me what execution is - without innovation?

"Last time I checked in on Twitter, it was not down, it was up, so there's something special going on there." So that's the standard for being special these days?
