Great execution towards a terrible idea will get you nowhere.

One of the biggest advantages that start ups have is execution speed and you have to have this relentless operating rhythm.

Most investors are obsessed with the market size today and they don't think about how the market is going to evolve.

You also really want to take the time to think about how the market is going to evolve.You need a market that's going to be big in 10 years.

You never want to be in a place where an employee has vested 3 out of the 4 years of stock and they start thinking about leaving.

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

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