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

Two other things that we hear again and again from our founders, they wish they had done earlier, and that is... simply writing down how you do things and why you do things.

Most of the best hires that I've made in my entire life have never done that thing before.

When it comes to starting startups, in many ways, it's easier to start a hard startup than an easy startup.

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

Every first time founder waits too long, everyone hopes that an employee will turn around. But the right answer is to fire fast.

As long as you keep doing the right thing and have the best product, you can beat the bigger company.
