In the early days of a startup, people's compensation is whatever you negotiate with a founder and it's all over the place.

Or a way to stay on strangers couches, that just sounds terrible all around.

You think you have this great idea that everyone's going to come join, but that's not how it works.

You cannot create a market that doesn't want to exist.

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

Move fast. Speed is one of your main advantages over large companies.

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