I always try to find the truth in a situation. That unvarnished, pure nugget of truth at the core of every issue that I write about.

I live a fairly simple life, and that didnt change much after I sold TechCrunch in 2010. I didnt buy a new house or even a new car. The one thing I did splurge on was a boat. Nothing too fancy or large.

A business model that hasn't been tried before is always interesting, even if it's likely to fail.

Friendships and marriage are far more potent than financial conflicts.

The main thing to know about me is that I'm a champion of entrepreneurs and the startups they build. They are my rock stars. If in doubt, I side with them, and that's clear from my writing.

The payouts for starting a business are just terrible when you account for risk. A tiny minority of entrepreneurs ever get rich. And the majority of entrepreneurs would probably make far more money, and have more stable personal relationships, if they just worked for someone else.

Startups Are Hard. So Work More, Cry Less, And Quit All The Whining
