Nolan Bushnell

I founded Atari in my garage in Santa Clara while at Stanford. When I was in school, I took a lot of business classes. I was really fascinated by economics. You end up having to be a marketeer, finance maven and a little bit of a technologist in order to get a business going.
Nolan Bushnell
I've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example.
Nolan Bushnell
I appreciate the fact that technology and games are a big part of life.
Nolan Bushnell
I think 'Something Ventured' is a nice piece because it celebrates venture capital in a unique and powerful way.
Nolan Bushnell
I must confess I've always had a couple of pinball machines in my home and really have enjoyed some of the old classics, like Fireball.
Nolan Bushnell
If you're willing to work harder than anybody else, you can create your own luck
