My experience is that entrepreneurs who have taken the step to form a board of directors are serious about growth.

Time Warner Cable should again experience a strong growth quarter. Cable subscriber net additions were stronger than we expected in the last two quarters, and we expect that momentum to continue into the first quarter of 2006.

I don't think it was a glass ceiling. I think it was a barrier you have to break through, which I think every entrepreneur has to face in some way. You're just sitting there with an idea, you've proven nothing, you're just asking for money. It's just this very awkward odd time.

She's the explorer and I'm the navigator. We meet in the middle on strategy and what's practical.

We decided it would be incredibly valuable to have someone on our side of the table who had some direct industry experience, a ton of professional experience and who could vouch for us.

We like backing experienced entrepreneurs who have built their own companies, who have been in high-growth situations and understand the value of a dollar.
