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

Why couldn't it have been done 2 years ago, and why will 2 years in the future be too late?

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

I think the best thing you can do is be aware that as a first time founder you are likely to be a very bad manager.

There are 3 things I look for when I hire people. Are they smart? Do they get things done? Do I want to spend a lot of time around them?

Startups are very hard no matter what you do; you may as well go after a big opportunity.

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