If you don't love and believe in what you're building, you're likely to give up at some point along the way.

Most good founders that I know at any given time have a set of small overarching goals for the company that everybody in the company knows.

There are 3 things I look for when I hire people. Are they smart? Do they get things done? Do I want to spend a lot of time around them?

By the way, that's my number one piece of advice if you're going to join a startup: pick a rocket ship.

Founders are usually very stingy with equity to employees and very generous with equity to investors. I think this is totally backwards.

... fire fast when it's not working. It's better for the company, it's also better for the employee.

You have to find a small market in which you can get a monopoly and then quickly expand.
