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

In the early days of a startup, people's compensation is whatever you negotiate with a founder and it's all over the place.

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

Growth solves (nearly) all problems

Someday, you need to build a business that's difficult to replicate. This is an important part of a good idea.

You only get points when you make something the market wants. So if you work really hard on the wrong things, no one will care.
