You should think about for the next 10 years, you're going to be giving out 3-5% of the company every year.

I believe in fighting with investors to reduce the amount of equity they get and then being as generous as you possibly can with employees.

Because it's one of these sort of connections between nodes- every pair of people adds communication overhead.

Experience matters for some roles and not others.

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

For most of the early hires you make in a startup, experience doesn't matter very much, and you should go for aptitude.

Wait to start a startup until you come up with an idea that you feel compelled to explore.
