Sound Bites
“Entrepreneurs are in a psychotic state. They’re supposed to hold the hat and tell the entire world that they’re building a billion-dollar business, but they’re the only ones who get to peek under the hat and see that it is essentially dead.”
“The biggest mistake most founders make is that they don’t tell anybody. They’re so scared that they don’t tell anyone. Worst case scenario, they could have told a few people who might talk to somebody else and introduce them to that person.”
“If somebody leaves, they lose the shares they haven’t earned. If somebody’s let go because the other two let them go for any reason whatsoever, they should lose their equity that they didn’t earn.”
