You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.

Move fast. Speed is one of your main advantages over large companies.

Or a way to stay on strangers couches, that just sounds terrible all around.

The startups that do well are the ones that are working all the time.

You can create value with breakthrough innovation, incremental refinement, or complex coordination. Great companies often do two of these. The very best companies do all three.

The thing that kills startups at some level, is the founders giving up.

You want to sound crazy, but you want to actually be right.
