... but actually it sucks to have a lot of employees, and you should be proud of how few employees you have.

It's difficult to get large groups of people, to the extreme levels of focus and productivity that you need, for a startup to be successful.

Every first time founder waits too long, everyone hopes that an employee will turn around. But the right answer is to fire fast.

You also really want to take the time to think about how the market is going to evolve.You need a market that's going to be big in 10 years.

A lot of people treat choosing their cofounder with even less importance than they put on hiring. Don't do this.

Before product/market fit, your only job that matters is to build a great product.

The company just needs to see you as like this maniacal execution machine.
