Employees will only add more value over time.

Investors will sort of like write the check and then, despite a lot of promises, don't usually do that much; sometimes they do.

Unfortunately the trick to great execution is to say no a lot.

You don't need to make the structure complicated, in fact you shouldn't. All you need is for every employee to know who their manager is.

... you can think about that for everyone you hire: will I bet the future of this company on this single hire? And that's a tough bar.

You should always know how you're doing against your metrics. You should always have a weekly review meeting every week.

One of the great and terrible things about starting a start up is that you get no credit for trying.
