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

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.

Most great companies in tech have been built by personal referrals for the first...at least 100 employees and often many more.

Another way of looking at this, is that the best companies are almost always mission oriented.

Growth and momentum are what a startup lives on and you always have to focus on maintaining these.

You can have a startup and one other thing, you can have a family, but you probably can't have many other things.

You want to think about what is the path for my first 10 or 15 employees going to be as the company grows.
