You want to sound crazy, but you want to actually be right.

Aim to be the best in the world at whatever you do professionally. Even if you miss, you'll probably end up in a pretty good place.

A related advantage of mission oriented ideas, is that you yourself will be dedicated to them.

It's easy to move fast or be obsessed with quality, but the trick is you have to do both at a startup.

If you want something in a deal, just ask for it.

More important than starting any startup, is getting to know a lot of potential co-founders.

You also want people who are maniacally determined and that is slightly different than having a risk tolerant attitude.
