Thursday, February 16, 2006 | No comments

From New York Times, Venture Capitalists Are Investing in Educational Reform:

Asked to contrast the high-tech entrepreneurs he has backed over the years with the educators he is financing today, John Doerr responded without hesitation:

“The education entrepreneurs have it harder. They must overcome massive institutional resistance.

And if the high-tech entrepreneurs succeed, they get rich.

The educators’ rewards will be more important in life, but they’re not going to get rich.”
