Show Quote:
"It's interesting when you start going into an industrial space and you start bench-testing ideas [...] when it comes time to build a full prototype you don't get to build a fifteen thousand dollar version of it [...] you actually have to build a fifteen million dollar version of it."
"The whole process of creating the Rainforest was creating this very amorphous, messy situation that lives up to the metaphor of an actual rainforest."
"There's a role for people who are wanting to invest in something that's different. "
