U-Wirth ujabulile ngokuba buthuntu, futhi uChevron ujabule ngokulinganayo ngakho. Akekho eSilicon Valley ofuna ukufana noMike. Ikakhulu wonke umuntu ufuna ukufana noCollison, umuntu ongagcinanga nje ngokwakha enye yezinkampani ezizimele ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni esikhathini esiyiminyaka engamashumi amabili-ehlanganisa kabusha indlela imali ehamba ngayo emhlabeni wonke-kodwa futhi uzinikele ekumemezeleni ifilosofi yezombusazwe ephakathi neo enethemba lokusebenzisa kabusha izingqimba ezimbalwa zenqubomgomo yasekhaya yase-U.S. Njengo-Collison, bafisa ukubaluleka nokuba nethonya futhi abesabi ukubalandela ngokusobala.E-Silicon Valley, wonke umuntu ufuna ukwenza okuthile okusha.
