Steve Case emerged from the most maligned merger in American business history to become one of the nation's leading proponents of entrepreneurship. Backing innovation across a wide range of industries through his Revolution investment company and working tirelessly on Capitol Hill to push legislation in support of small business, this online pioneer is bringing big ideas to life--through drive, leadership and a personal touch.

Steve Case likes to talk about the transcendent joy of entrepreneurship more than just about anyone you've ever met. And he has a lot to say.

On a warm and sunny afternoon in midtown Manhattan, Case is sitting inside the Casablanca Hotel, expounding on a topic that seems to have dazzled him since he was a schoolboy in Hawaii. This morning, at Nasdaq headquarters, the guy who stewarded America Online through its halcyon days held forth on technology and business trends before an audience of 150 tech entrepreneurs at the prestigious annual gathering known as F.ounders.
