You need unstoppable people. You want people that are just going to get it done.

You also want to fire people who a) create office politics, and b) who are persistently negative.

You have to be intense. This only comes from the CEO, this only comes from the founders.

The best founders work on things that seem small but they move really quickly. They get things done really quickly.

You only get points when you make something the market wants. So if you work really hard on the wrong things, no one will care.

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

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.
