When the rhetoric against immigrants took off, I figured that was exactly the time to remind founders this is still the place to build. It's the whole reason we started One Way Summit at @onewayvc. Round two is Oct 28-29 in SF. https://t.co/H5F91E1H2y

Last year I told myself One Way Summit was a failure if fewer than 350 people showed up. Almost 500 came and we sold out early. This year we're going for 1,000 at the Commonwealth Club, Oct 28-29. https://t.co/H5F91E2eS6
