Momentum and growth are the lifeblood of startups. This is probably in the top three secrets of executing well.

You have to find a small market in which you can get a monopoly and then quickly expand.

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

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.

Most investors are obsessed with the market size today and they don't think about how the market is going to evolve.

You should think about for the next 10 years, you're going to be giving out 3-5% of the company every year.

The thing that kills startups at some level, is the founders giving up.
