VISION

We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details.

All successful people are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be and then work every day toward that vision.

Our whole goal is to make Uber so efficient that it's cheaper than owning a car.

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.

I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.

You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great. That's what being a spacefaring civilization is all about.

The way I think about Stripe's mission: if we can increase the GDP of the internet by even a tiny fraction, that's a huge deal for the world.

We think of ourselves as the Amazon Web Services of payments. We want to be the infrastructure layer for internet commerce.

Arm the rebels. That's what Shopify does. We give superpowers to the little guys.

We sell the reduction of information overload, the relief from stress, and the ability to work more effectively.

We don't sell saddles here. We sell the experience of riding.

Community is the killer app. Not features. Not technology. Just people who want to be around other people.

Imagine a place where you can belong to a school club, a gaming group, a worldwide art community, or just a handful of friends.

We said no to twelve billion dollars because we believe Discord can be something much bigger.

Our goal is to make Zoom meetings better than in-person meetings. That's the bar.

Everyone should be able to mold their own tools. That shouldn't require a computer science degree.

We don't want to be the best project management tool. We want to be the last productivity tool you ever need.

The future of work isn't more tools. It's fewer tools that do more.

We founded Robinhood because we believed that the financial system should work for everyone, not just the wealthy.

Bitcoin changes everything. It's the native currency of the internet and it will eventually be the currency of the world.

We renamed the company Block because we're not just Square anymore. We're building blocks for economic empowerment.

We don't want to be a bank. We want to be the financial super-app — everything you need for money in one place.

We want to be the number one shopping destination in the world. Not a payment method — a shopping app.

Money should move as freely as information. An email doesn't cost more because it crosses a border. Sending money shouldn't either.

AGI is going to be the most transformative technology in human history. Getting it right is the most important thing we can do.

The cost of intelligence is going to drop to nearly zero. That changes everything about every industry on Earth.

We're in a race to build the most powerful technology in human history. The question isn't whether to race — it's whether to race responsibly.

The data warehouse is dead. Long live the Data Cloud.

Data sharing between organizations will be bigger than data warehousing itself. We're building the connective tissue of the data economy.

The future of design is empowering everyone to design. Not making designers more powerful — making everyone a designer.

We want to be one of the most valuable companies in the world and also one of the most generous. Those shouldn't be contradictions.

There are 150 million people who wake up every morning and don't want to go to the office. We are going to save those people.

In the world I see, you're going to have a WeWork on every corner. We are here in order to change the world. Nothing less than that interests me.

If you can't beat AI, join it. Literally. With a chip in your brain.

The bandwidth between your brain and a computer is currently about 10 bits per second when you're typing on your phone. We want to make it millions.

We're not building a medical device. We're building a general-purpose brain interface that starts with medical applications.

If you can't go above it and you can't go around it, go under it. Simple as that.

We can have a trillion humans living in the solar system. That means we'd have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins. That's the future I want for my grandchildren.

Space is the only way to save Earth. We need to move heavy industry off-planet and turn Earth into a residential zone.

I don't want to live on Mars. I want to live on Earth. But I want the option of visiting a million-person colony on Mars.

Food delivery is a trillion-dollar market. We're at maybe 10% penetration. The opportunity isn't behind us — it's barely started.

The average car is parked 95% of the time. That's not a transportation system — that's a parking system. We want to change that.

Seventy percent of adults in our region don't have a bank account. We're not just a ride-hailing app — we're financial infrastructure for 700 million people.

We want to be the everyday everything app for Southeast Asia. One app, from morning coffee to evening savings deposit.

Snapchat is not social media. Social media is about performing for an audience. Snapchat is about talking to your friends.

The camera is the new keyboard. The way people communicate is fundamentally shifting from text to visual, and we're building for that world.

We're not a social network. We're a discovery engine. People don't come to Pinterest to see what their friends are doing. They come to find what they want to do next.

Audio will be bigger than video. Not everyone can watch a screen all day, but everyone can listen. We're building for ears, and ears are always available.

A robot for every person. That's not a slogan — it's the inevitability. Every knowledge worker will have a software robot handling their busywork.

The mental health crisis isn't a supply problem — there are plenty of therapists. It's an access problem. Insurance is the bottleneck and we're opening it.

The metaverse shouldn't be about trapping people in a virtual world. It should be about enriching the real world. We've been building the real-world metaverse since 2012 — we just didn't call it that.
