Ideas by themselves are not worth anything, only executing well is what creates value.

We hear again and again from founders, that they wish they had waited to start a startup until they came up with an idea they really loved.

If you're not in college and you don't know a cofounder, the next best thing I think is to go work at an interesting company.

I think the best thing you can do is be aware that as a first time founder you are likely to be a very bad manager.

It's difficult to get large groups of people, to the extreme levels of focus and productivity that you need, for a startup to be successful.

... you can think about that for everyone you hire: will I bet the future of this company on this single hire? And that's a tough bar.

If you look at successful pivots, they almost always are a pivot into something that the founder wanted. Not a random made up idea.
