M&A negotiations feel really fun. This is one of the biggest killers of companies, is they entertain acquisition conversations.

You also want people who are maniacally determined and that is slightly different than having a risk tolerant attitude.

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

You have to let your team get all the credit for all the good stuff that happens, and you take responsibility for the bad stuff.

If you can just learn to think about the market first, you will have a big leg up on most people starting startups.

Every company has a rocky beginning.

Most things are not as risky as they seem.
