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

It's better to have no cofounder than to have a bad cofounder, but it's still bad to be a solo founder.

When lack of structure fails, it fails all at once. What works totally fine from 0-20 employees, is disastrous at 30.

These all sounded really bad, but they turned out to be good. If they had sounded really good, there would have been too many people working on them.

The best founders work on things that seem small but they move really quickly. They get things done really quickly.

I really believe that the single hardest thing in business is building a company that does repeatable innovation... and just has this ongoing culture of excellence as it grows.

If you compromise and hire someone mediocre you will always regret it.
