		<description><![CDATA[This is probably one of the most common phrases you hear from venture capitalists.

He directly dispels the theory of clusters, research parks, university tech commercialization programs and every other top-down approach to create innovation and entrepreneurship. I highly recommend you check it out. I completely agree with [...]]]></description>
