Stay focused and don't try to do too many things at once. Care about execution quality.

We pretty much won't fund a company now where the founders don't have vested equity because it's just that hard to do.

Every first time founder waits too long, everyone hopes that an employee will turn around. But the right answer is to fire fast.

You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.

In the early days of a startup, people's compensation is whatever you negotiate with a founder and it's all over the place.

Most investors are obsessed with the market size today and they don't think about how the market is going to evolve.

Companies that I've been very involved with, that have had a very bad first hire in the first 3 or so employees never recover from it.
