If all startups face the same problem then the strongest startup wins. Simply naming a risk that all startups face and then saying the strongest startups in their respective domains are more at risk isn't really cutting it for me. If t

Sharp criticism from know-it-alls is often a sign that an idea is good. It's amazing to me how, even though this is common knowledge, good ideas continue to polarize. I'd hate for you guys to convince everyone to be so nice that w

The only upside to "looking for startup ideas" is that it is better than sitting and doing nothing or watching 13 episodes of house of card on netflix for example. The key is to not commit to an idea that was generated in this ess

Successful entrepreneurs are persistent in pursuing something they a) believe in and b) have reason to believe is real-- even if this reason is some tiny kind of insight. I believe the point he is making is not to start startups with pseu

Company size is still meaningfully correlated with certain facts and so the distinction ahead of time is meaningful despite the large variance within each group. In other words, for various reasons (like learning, wearing multiple hats, bui
