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

You don't need to make the structure complicated, in fact you shouldn't. All you need is for every employee to know who their manager is.

If you look at successful pivots, they almost always are a pivot into something that the founder wanted. Not a random made up idea.

In the early stage of a startup, hiring senior people is usually a mistake. You just want people that get stuff done.

Ideas by themselves are not worth anything, only executing well is what creates value.

You should always know how you're doing against your metrics. You should always have a weekly review meeting every week.

One of the great and terrible things about starting a start up is that you get no credit for trying.
