  Davis:
  "Berkshire Hathaway is a massive company which feels like a family firm.
  All the usual corporate vanities are absent and not a cent is wasted. Take a
  look at the Berkshire Hathaway website here. To call it low key would be to put it
  kindly, it looks though it's from about 1994, no-frills. All the financial data
  is here but they haven't even got around to even uploading a photo. And
  that's all very much Warren Buffets style - why waste money on a designer.
  Buffet insists his website does the job."

  Buffet:
  "I think it's what we are, I mean, it's factual."

  Davis:
  "You could put a little picture of something on there perhaps, or."

  Buffet:
  "I want people to get facts about Berkshire and, you know, I don't
  really think it makes any difference what I look like."

  Davis:
  "Buffets idiosyncratic style is not just charming, it's a financial asset,
  it saves time and money..."

  "Over the course of the last 10 months we’ve managed
   to create an accidental incubator.

  After meeting start-ups at various events, we found
  ourselves playing host to about a dozen people across 
  five companies here at our offices. They all seem to 
  like it, and we like them, which inspired us to put 
  together Springboard."
