Starting a business is like riding a wave between life and death. If you can hang on long enough, you're bound to succeed

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

One of the great and terrible things about starting a start up is that you get no credit for trying.

Most great companies in tech have been built by personal referrals for the first...at least 100 employees and often many more.

The best source by far for hiring is people that you already know and people that other employees in the company already know.

I believe in fighting with investors to reduce the amount of equity they get and then being as generous as you possibly can with employees.

Move fast. Speed is one of your main advantages over large companies.
