最佳：人人参与创业的总体趋势有所降温，这是好事。人们开始关注更长期的目标。人们更专注于商业模式，关注打造长期业务，天花乱坠的宣传变少了。 从硅谷的繁荣一面可以看出，今年是泡沫年。你在旧金山就能感觉到硅谷有多么疯狂。

最差：或许与前面的最佳一样？（[轻笑。）人们很容易就能得到天使投资，这非常荒谬。这也是现在为什么会有那么多公司出现。去年我注意到，这个区域正变得日益拥挤。交通量日益增加。感觉像是1999年。不过与此同时，也有许多优秀的公司在这里诞生。

Best: The whole trend of everyone starting their own company is cooling off a little bit, which has been nice. People are getting more long-term focused. They're more focused on business models and building long-term businesses and less so hype. It's been a pretty frothy year in terms of Silicon Valley booming. You can just feel in San Francisco how crazy it is.

Worst: Maybe the same as my high point? [Chuckles.] It was a little bit ridiculous how easy it was to get angel funding. So there were just so many companies. One thing I've really noticed in the last year or so is the crowdedness of the area. The traffic has picked up a lot. It almost feels like 1999 in that sense, but at the same time, there are a lot of good businesses being built.
