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

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.

Study the unusually successful people you know, and you will find them imbued with enthusiasm for their work which is contagious. Not only are they themselves excited about what they are doing, but they also get you excited

To get the very best people- they have a lot of great options, and so it can easily take a year to recruit someone.

One thing that founders forget is that after they hire employees, they have to retain them.

The best people know that they should join a rocketship.

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