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.

One of the keys to focus, and why I said cofounders that aren't friends really struggle, is that you can't be focused without good communication.

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

You have to be intense. This only comes from the CEO, this only comes from the founders.

You want an idea that not many other people are working on, and it's okay if it doesn't sound big at first.

Companies that I've been very involved with, that have had a very bad first hire in the first 3 or so employees never recover from it.

If someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act, and at that point it'll be painfully aware to everyone.
