Simon on starting a business...
“We have one life and potentially one opportunity to create a brand or a business... I think when you’re starting a business you just need to put your head down and say: 'I don’t care if this fails, I actually need to make it fail.' If you can’t make the business fail then it’s going to be successful.”
On the birth of new business ideas in technology...
“I don’t think any business idea is new, I don’t think people have new, new ideas. I think most of these ideas are hybrids of technology, mash-ups, or recombinant and put together in a way that ends with users that use the site defining the way it should be.”
On being an entrepreneur...
“Entrepreneurs are like pond skaters: they’re more visionary, more creative. They often don’t want to get bogged down in the nuts and bolts of running the business.”
