By the way, that's my number one piece of advice if you're going to join a startup: pick a rocket ship.

The second part of how to hire: try not to.

No growth hack, brilliant marketing idea, or sales team can save you long term if you don't have a sufficiently good product.

You want an idea that turns into a monopoly. But you can't get a monopoly, in a big market right away; too much competition for that.

It's easy to move fast or be obsessed with quality, but the trick is you have to do both at a startup.

AirBnB spent 5 months interviewing their first employee, before they hired someone and in their first year, they only hired 2 people.

... you want to be proud of how much you can get done with a small numbers of employees.
