The company just needs to see you as like this maniacal execution machine.

It takes years and years, usually a decade, to create a great startup.

As the company grows and about this 25 or so employee size, your main job shifts from building a great product to building a great company.

Great execution towards a terrible idea will get you nowhere.

You need to have a culture where people have very high quality standards in everything the company does, but still move quickly.

Great execution is at least 10 times more important and a 100 times harder than a good idea.

... you want to be proud of how much you can get done with a small numbers of employees.
