Another way of looking at this, is that the best companies are almost always mission oriented.

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

The startups that do well are the ones that are working all the time.

You want to think about what is the path for my first 10 or 15 employees going to be as the company grows.

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

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

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.
