You really need to spend a lot of your time focussing people.

I walk into a company office and I can tell often whether I'm gonna invest, as soon as I walk in.

When you start a company everything is going to feel like a mess. And it really should. If you have too much process, too much predictability, you are probably not innovating fast enough and creatively enough.

Every good startup is a cult. And it's really hard to create a cult if you are sharing space with people. Because a cult means you think you are better than every other startup, you have a special way of doing things that's better than anyone else in the world.

I think you must have your own office. I don't believe ever in shared office spaces.

If the Martians took over eBay it would take 6 months for the world to notice.

The real thing you do is you ask a lot of questions.
