Most startups are not nearly focussed enough. They work hard...maybe, but they don't work hard on the right things.

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.

Two other things that we hear again and again from our founders, they wish they had done earlier, and that is... simply writing down how you do things and why you do things.

You certainly don't need to have everything figured out in the path from here to world domination.

... if you talk to say any of the first 40 or 50 employees, they all feel like they were a part of the founding of the company.

You need this sort of a tailwind to make a startup successful.

For most of the early hires you make in a startup, experience doesn't matter very much, and you should go for aptitude.
