If you have never done the job, how do you know what to want?

What do you get when you cross a herd of sheep with a herd of lemmings? A herd of venture capitalists.

The person they're working with, is going to be the person they'll know more. So if that person leaves, they're going to go - well, should have I left too? What did they get and how does that compare to my deal.

As a startup CEO, I slept like a baby. I woke up every 2 hours and cried.

Startup CEOs should not play the odds. When you are building a company, you must believe there is an answer and you cannot pay attention to your odds of finding it. You just have to find it. It matters not whether your chances are nine in ten or one in a thousand; your task is the same.

I believe in strength over lack of weakness.

Volatility and length, that's the value on an option. 10 years on a startup stock, that's a big valuable thing.
