NYC Tech Quote of the Week

“I think we have an opportunity to completely change how people build technology. Make it more inclusive and empower way more people to build things. That’s something that I really hope to take ’til the end. It’s a long journey ahead of us — probably another 10 years — but if we get to that point I think we’ll have built one of the most impactful new technologies in the world.” —Emmanuel Straschnov, Bubble co-founder
