In addition to Richard Branson joining the board, we have attracted and commanded the greatest minds to guide us as we position ourselves for global growth. Their proven leadership in their respective industries adds another dimension in helping us achieve our dream of bringing Virgin Hyperloop One technology to the world.

As an investor, I'm always scouting for new trends.

This is the beginning, and the dawn of a new era of transportation.

When I look at cities now, I don't see them in the present. This is the decaying infrastructure of our existing cities. Years from now, none of this is going to be here. New cities are going to rise.

I look forward to working with my friend and fellow Iranian American Mr. Khosrowshahi. Dara's experience and his proven track record of success make him the right choice to lead Uber.

People are the greatest asset class.

I was forced to be political because I had bombs falling on me as a child in Tehran.

When you hear the sound of the Hyperloop One, you hear the sound of the future.

Government, in many ways, is absolutely going to, if not already has, become irrelevant. It's not going to be in control anymore with the technologies that are coming down the pipe.

With Hyperloop One, the world will be cleaner, safer, and faster. It's going to make the world a lot more efficient and will impact the ways our cities work, where we live, and where we work. We'll be able to move between cities as if cities themselves are metro stops.

Our nation will be in good hands under a president Hillary Rodham Clinton administration.

We're not going to let anything get in our way of hitting our milestones and making history and showing the world that Hyperloop works.

Europe embraces new ideas in transportation like no other region in the world and is uniquely positioned to take the next great leap in transportation with Hyperloop One.

We are so fortunate that our new and existing investors share our vision of making Hyperloop the world's first new mode of transportation in over a century. We initially targeted $50 million and ended up raising $85 million instead.

Investors tend to avoid food companies.

At Hyperloop One, we're committed to enabling disruption, and we recognize the importance of partnership in being able to realize the full potential of developing robust ecosystems that are needed to support Hyperloop's capacity.

My family visits the office, and we have dinner together. We do this once or twice a week.

If you spend your time thinking about competition, you're not accomplishing much.

At the end of the day, I live in Silicon Valley and L.A., and for selfish reasons, I'd love to have Los Angeles and San Francisco connected with the Hyperloop.

Hyperloop One will move people and things faster than at any other time in the world.
