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

The thirteenth search engine- and without all the features of a web portal, most people thought that was pointless.

One thing that founders always underestimate is how hard it is to recruit.

Employees will only add more value over time.

There are exceptions of course, but most companies start with a great idea - not a pivot.

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.

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