A small communication breakdown is enough for everyone to be working on slightly different things. And then you loose focus.

Most founders have not managed people before, and they certainly haven't managed managers.

The single word that matters most I think to keep the company productive as it grows is alignment.

One thing I tell startups all the time is that the best way to grow is to make their product better.

Founders are usually very stingy with equity to employees and very generous with equity to investors. I think this is totally backwards.

1 of the hardest parts about being a founder, is that there are a 100 important things competing for your attention each day.

Unfortunately the trick to great execution is to say no a lot.
