You want to continue to be run by great products, not process for it's own sake.

A single mediocre hire in the first five will often in fact kill a startup.

I believe in fighting with investors to reduce the amount of equity they get and then being as generous as you possibly can with employees.

As you grow, the productivity I think, goes down with the square of the number of employees if you don't make an effort.

If you pivot, do it fully and with conviction. The worst thing is to try to do a bit of the old and the new-it's hard to kill your babies.

Share results (financial and key metrics) with the company every month.

Unfortunately the trick to great execution is to say no a lot.
