A single mediocre hire in the first five will often in fact kill a startup.

Share results (financial and key metrics) with the company every month.

1 of the hardest parts about being a founder, is that there are a 100 important things competing for your attention each day.

As you grow, the productivity I think, goes down with the square of the number of employees if you don't make an effort.

I prefer to invest in a company that's going after a small but rapidly growing market than a big but slow growing one.

The single word that matters most I think to keep the company productive as it grows is alignment.

Stay focused and don't try to do too many things at once. Care about execution quality.
