History has a way of making breakthroughs look inevitable. They never are.
Before a company, category or technology becomes obvious, someone has to see what others do not, and believe before the proof arrives. That instinct has always powered Silicon Valley: independent conviction strengthened by ambitious people exchanging ideas and pushing one another forward.
Most days, we compete for the same deals, talent and future. Today, we set that competition down—not to manufacture consensus, but to learn from one another and move forward.
To the founders building what comes next, the partners who made today possible and each of you here: thank you for joining us.
This moment demands the best of us and we believe the best are in this room.
