Peter H. Diamandis, MD(@PeterDiamandis):I announced a $10 million prize in 1996 without a dollar of prize money in hand. From 1996 to 2002, I pitched more than 150 philanthropists and sponsors, and heard no again and again. I kept the purse backed by an insurance policy while I searched for someone who believed. Six years later, I met the Ansari family, who funded the prize. NEVER QUIT!
