That's already been tried before only means the first attempt got it wrong.

Look for new enabling technologies that create a wide gap between how things have been done and how they can be done.

I think because of the iPhone and the fact that we now have a ubiquitous internet, our creativity in the startup space is 10 times different. Every single industry, every single market, is going to be technology-driven in some way. There's an infinite opportunity for startups because now you can go and solve problems that previously looked like they had nothing to do with technology.

The product that wins is the one that bridges customers to the future, not the one that requires a giant leap.

Always look for these changing technology factors- any market that has a significant change in the underlying raw materials ...or enabling factors, is an environment that is about to change in a very significant way.

My mom is proud of me. But she might not be too happy about the hours I keep or how little I eat. I wake up so late that it would be inappropriate to have breakfast. At most, I will have a snack in the day and dinner. I realize that it's not the healthiest way to live, but it's all I really have time for.

Why we do what we do: that moment when you get to see the future on your computer screen before the rest of the world.
