Good startups usually take 10 years.

You think you have this great idea that everyone's going to come join, but that's not how it works.

You want to continue to be run by great products, not process for it's own sake.

If you look at successful pivots, they almost always are a pivot into something that the founder wanted. Not a random made up idea.

We pretty much won't fund a company now where the founders don't have vested equity because it's just that hard to do.

You have to save the vision speeches for when the company is winning. When you're not winning, you just have to get momentum back.

Startups are very hard no matter what you do; you may as well go after a big opportunity.
