The guy who houses hundreds of startups: Plug and Play's Saeed Amidi

He owns the building where Google and Paypal got their starts. In his many locations around the world you'll find hundreds of startups (in the Sunnyvale headquarters alone there are more than 200 startups). It's rare that you get to spend more than an hour with a guy like this who has invested in, and advises, so many startups. He explains how Silicon Valley works and gives entrepreneurs many tips.

When clever man is talking only several hundreds will watch the video. When some stupid things are happening then millions of people are watching those videos.

Thanks for sharing this video - greetings from Macedonia.

thanks for the video, listening to it now. My first thought is that it is really interesting to hear more about the people who contribute some of that brick-and-mortar which start-ups need. Their first office. Infrastructure. As a local politician here in Norway, my hope is that we will have more dynamic spaces like this - places where start-ups can get started, can build their business model, and then move on to bigger premises.
