You want to sound crazy, but you want to actually be right.
Most things are not as risky as they seem.
You can basically change everything in a startup but the market.
I think as a rough estimate, you should aim to give about 10% of the company to the first 10 employees.
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.
If it takes more than a sentence to explain what you are doing, it's almost always a sign that what you are doing is too complicated.
