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

Long term thinking is so rare anywhere, but especially in startups. This is a huge advantage if you do it.

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.

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

The most important thing is that there is clear reporting structure and everyone knows what it is.

One thing that often disrupts momentum and really shouldn't is competitors.

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.
