People don't like silence, so they'll keep talking to fill the void.

The crucial people to get your product started for the first 6 months are not who will be using it 3 years later.

Who would you talk to? That is the first question for almost any startup that you need to answer. Who is my user and where am I going to find them?

You have this idea that you think is awesome. You want to have that broadest group you possibly can. You don't want to just talk to 1 type of person and learn that, you want to get familiar with the space.

A goal of Twitch is to be wherever gamers are, whether its on laptops and handheld devices or integrated into gaming consoles and software.

The most common mistakes are showing people your product- don't show them your product, it's sort of like telling them bout a feature.

The other mistake I think people make is talking to who's available rather than talking to who they need to talk to.
