In the beginning of a company, there is no management and this actually works really well.

Experience matters for some roles and not others.

Founders are usually very stingy with equity to employees and very generous with equity to investors. I think this is totally backwards.

You have to be decisive. Indecisiveness is a startup killer.

If you don't need it yourself, and you're building something that someone else needs, realize you're at a big disadvantage.

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

At the beginning, you should only hire when you have a desperate need to.
