A board member of mine used to say sales fix everything in a startup, and that is really true.

You don't need to make the structure complicated, in fact you shouldn't. All you need is for every employee to know who their manager is.

... the thing we see wrong with YC apps most frequently, is that people have not thought about the market first and what people want first.

Unfortunately the trick to great execution is to say no a lot.

Startups are not the best choice for work-life balance, and that's sort of just the sad reality.

More important than starting any startup, is getting to know a lot of potential co-founders.

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