Every startup has a chance to change the world, by bringing not just a new product, but an entirely new institution into existence.

Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: 'If entrepreneurship was a science, then anyone could do it.' I'd like to point out that even science is a science, and still very few people can do it, let alone do it well.

A pivot is a change in strategy without a change in vision.

Meritocracy is a good thing. Whenever possibly, people should be judged based on their work and results, not superficial qualities.

The grim reality is that most start-ups fail. Most new products are not successful. Yet the story of perseverance, creative genius, and hard work persists.

Using the Lean Startup approach, companies can create order not chaos by providing tools to test a vision continuously.

In the old economy, it was all about having the answers. But in today’s dynamic, lean economy, it’s more about asking the right questions. A More Beautiful Question is about figuring out how to ask, and answer, the questions that can lead to new opportunities and growth.
