The hard part is that this is a very fine line. There's right on one side of it, and crazy on the other.

Another way of looking at this, is that the best companies are almost always mission oriented.

I myself used to believe ideas didn't matter that much, but I'm very sure that's wrong now.

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

Remember that you are more likely to die because you execute badly than get crushed by a competitor.

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.

The way you get deals done and the way you get good terms, is to have a competitive situation.
