At first when you start a company, everything's gonna feel like a mess and it really should. It should feel like everyday there's a new problem, and what you're doing is fundamentally triaging.

I don't believe ever in shared office spaces. Peter talks a little bit about this, every good startup is a cult. It's very hard to create a cult if you're sharing space with people.

The companies I have traditionally seen do best over the long term had lead investors for their seed rounds

Building a company is basically taking all the irrational people you know... Putting them in one building and then living with them 12 hrs a day at least.

Don't accept the excuse of complexity.

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

You are not going to do most of the work. You shouldn't be doing most of the work... and the way you get out of doing most of the work, is you delegate.
