Profiles aren't journalism.

Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.

If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.

Startups are rapidly changing systems. If you use an annual review cycle, you aren't getting feedback at the same pace that you need to adapt and change the business.

I also like to use a sensational headline. Many people read blogs in aggregators, which generally show only the headline. So you have to give people a reason to click through. Blogs need to be real and personal. Reading it should be like hanging out with you. I play music for my readers. I show them videos I like. I tell them what I did over the weekend. And I tell them what is happening in the technology, Internet, and VC markets.

It's upsetting to me that you have to be a millionaire to invest in your friend's start-up.

The entire world is now a rival to Silicon Valley. No country, state, region, nor city has a lock on innovation in technology anymore.
