You cannot create a market that doesn't want to exist.

You never want to be in a place where an employee has vested 3 out of the 4 years of stock and they start thinking about leaving.

Most startups are not nearly focussed enough. They work hard...maybe, but they don't work hard on the right things.

Everyone starting a startup for the first time is scared, and everyone feels like a bit of an imposter.

At YC we have this public phrase, and it's relentlessly resourceful.

You can win with the best product, the best price, or the best experience.

... how much time you should be spending on hiring? The answer is 0 or 25 percent.
