Silicon Valley isn’t based on resource allocation, it’s based on resource attraction, where somebody throws out an idea into this kind of marketplace for ideas. Either that idea attracts capital and talent or it doesn’t. But there’s no giant CEO brain making allocational decisions in Silicon Valley. There are many, many people making those decisions – It’s very distributed. If one venture capitalist doesn’t like it, you send it to another and another and another, and maybe you get funding and maybe you don’t. You have to create the expectation that the kind of ideas that could change the destiny of a company can emerge from anywhere, and you have to create a system whereby people can quickly share those ideas.
