California has a reputation of being a hub of innovation. In your view, what makes California unique for entrepreneurs and start-ups?
“California is a place where creative people take risks. You have people from all backgrounds coming together with bold ideas, and that mix of diversity and drive is what makes this state so special. We’ve built a culture where innovation is part of everyday life. But we also need to make sure the rules and systems here actually support small founders, not just big companies. California should be a place where anyone with a good idea can build something real.”
