One thing that often disrupts momentum and really shouldn't is competitors.

In general, it's best if you're building something that you yourself need.

We hear again and again from founders, that they wish they had waited to start a startup until they came up with an idea they really loved.

The way to have a company that executes well is you have to execute well yourself.

I care much more about the growth rate of the market than it's current size and I also care if there's any reason it's going to top out.

We talk to a team they've gotten new things done, that's the best predictor we have that a company will be successful.

Remember that you are more likely to die because you execute badly than get crushed by a competitor.
