For most of the early hires you make in a startup, experience doesn't matter very much, and you should go for aptitude.

One of the biggest advantages that start ups have is execution speed and you have to have this relentless operating rhythm.

Everyone starting a startup for the first time is scared, and everyone feels like a bit of an imposter.

I myself used to believe ideas didn't matter that much, but I'm very sure that's wrong now.

It's better to have a few users love your product than for a lot of users to sort of like it.

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.

You want an idea that turns into a monopoly. But you can't get a monopoly, in a big market right away; too much competition for that.
