The support we received at OneRiot from the beginning has been amazing. Everyone's door was open, and everyone was rooting for our success. In turn, our team at OneRiot has done everything we can to return the favor.

Building one garden in L.A. - it might be a nice gesture - but it won't make a difference. We have to start to change the culture of the community.

The question is not 'Why advertise in realtime?' The question is, 'Who are the brands and businesses that are going to be built off the realtime web?'

I joined the board of Chipotle because no company has ever been able to scale fresh, properly sourced food in the history of America.

We believe PulseRank will replace PageRank over time for the real-time Web.

Users are open to ads as long as they're relevant to their realtime experience.

It's only a risk if you think there's a chance of failure.

Food never ends. It's one of the greatest things about working on food - we're always going to need food.

Community through food is my mission; it is what I do.

My advice for any entrepreneur or innovator is to get into the food industry in some form so you have a front-row seat to what's going on.

Sadly, many people in our biggest cities are at the mercy of industrial food.

I had this attitude, that Silicon Valley obnoxious attitude, that I know what I'm doing, and the rest was going to be pretty easy.

Our family are all very hard working.

Boulder should be next to the word 'community' in the dictionary.

It's relatively easy to set up a tech company, join an accelerator, and progress down a pathway towards success. It's more complex to do that with food.

The Kitchen, which my wife and I opened with our friend and amazing chef Hugo Matheson, was quickly recognized as the pioneer in 'green' restaurants across the country.

The best training ground in the world is Silicon Valley and the tech space.

Kids gave Elon a very hard time, and it had a huge impact on his life.

If you've ever done something you love and go do something you like, it's like chewing on sawdust.

At Tesla, we don't go into a community and think we're going to sell one or two cars.

When you have the demand, you can change the government policies that create McDonald's and junk food.

People love to interact in real time, whether it is with each other or with content.

The industrial food system ships in high-calorie, low-nutrient, processed food from thousands of miles away. It leaves us disconnected from our food and the people who grow it.

Boulder was not the small town I had expected. It is a vivacious community of sophisticated people, who have the same aspirations and expectations you find in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Young people, especially, are turning away from McDonald's towards healthy, locally-sourced options like Next Door and Sweetgreen.

A lot of people think about food as fuel, where you need to get nutrients in your body.

Back in 1995, I saw an incredible wave coming. The Internet. I knew I needed to be a part of it no matter what I did.

Food is the new Internet.

I went to New York to train as a chef, and I had the good or bad fortune, depending on how you describe it, of being right there during 9/11. It was one of the best and the worst experiences.

We have been growing more food than we need since the '60s... what we have is a terrible distribution problem.

The Kitchen's mission is to strengthen communities by bringing local, real food to everyone.

We want our communities to know what real food is.

We want kids in communities to know real food, and we want them to have a choice between real food and industrial food.

If you come to The Kitchen and get a pork chop with polenta, which is our kind of food - simple - there is only one way it should taste at The Kitchen.

My goal is to go from the industrial food system toward a real food system where you understand what you are eating.

My family were all entrepreneurs, including my parents and grandparents.

My mother was a consulting dietician, and my father was a consulting engineer.

Newspapers have an extraordinary amount of local content, including real estate listings and restaurant reviews.

The problem is that restaurants have assumed that kids don't want to eat anything other than chicken nuggets or fast-food burgers, but they do. They want to eat things that taste good.

I have always loved food, and for me, even if I was on a beach, I would be cooking food every day.

I was very afraid of failure because if you fail at something you love, then you ruin what you love.

My brother is about energy. SpaceX is his passion, and I love being a part of that company. Energy is where he spends a lot of his time and thinking in terms of having an impact on the world.

For me, creating a supply chain of what we should be eating is incredibly complicated. It's complicated to figure out how to change the food system in America.

The one lesson I've learned from technology and food is the only time you know you're doing the wrong thing is when you're doing what everyone else is doing.

I was totally humbled by how hard it is to create a product every day that needs to be made from scratch.

No one wins in the industrial food system.

The problem with industrial food is zero transparency. The system thrives on the fact that there is no transparency.

Growing up, I cooked in the house, and when I cooked, everyone would sit down and eat, and it was just kind of the way I connected with my family.

I used to throw cooking parties in university. Everyone would come over - sometimes you'd just do a mac and cheese, but if you do that better than everyone else, you can get people to come to you.

When you think about basketball, and you watch someone like Michael Jordan play basketball - even if you're a baseball player, there's still a lot to learn from there.
