Remember that the idea will expand, and become more ambitious as you go.

As long as you keep doing the right thing and have the best product, you can beat the bigger company.

A board member of mine used to say sales fix everything in a startup, and that is really true.

Everyone starting a startup for the first time is scared, and everyone feels like a bit of an imposter.

As the company grows and about this 25 or so employee size, your main job shifts from building a great product to building a great company.

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

You never want to be in a place where an employee has vested 3 out of the 4 years of stock and they start thinking about leaving.
