What you want to do is innovate on your product and your business model, management structure is not where I would try and innovate.

In the early days of a startup, people's compensation is whatever you negotiate with a founder and it's all over the place.

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

Wait to start a startup until you come up with an idea that you feel compelled to explore.

Great execution is at least 10 times more important and a 100 times harder than a good idea.

There's no way I know, to get through the pain of a startup without belief that the mission really matters.

If you compromise in the first five, ten hires it might kill the company.
