Silicon Valley entrepreneurs still thinking big – For proof, just look at Greenbox.

Over the course of the past 40 years, Silicon Valley has experienced regular cycles of economic ups and downs that come with being one of the world’s leading centers of innovation. And during those down cycles, it’s become routine for folks to do some hand-wringing about whether the valley has lost its way.

On the whole, it’s probably a healthy thing to take stock and engage in some soul-searching. But these periods of self-flagellation have been followed by a period of new innovation and economic boom, with some booms being bigger than others.

Innovation is going strong in Silicon Valley, thank you very much. And not just small, incremental innovation. There are still plenty of entrepreneurs thinking big and tackling problems of an epic scale with the potential to have profound affects on our lives.
