There's no way I know, to get through the pain of a startup without belief that the mission really matters.

Employees will only add more value over time.

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

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.

One thing I tell startups all the time is that the best way to grow is to make their product better.

You need unstoppable people. You want people that are just going to get it done.

You want an idea that turns into a monopoly. But you can't get a monopoly, in a big market right away; too much competition for that.
