    If you want to Optimize things, work at a big company. If you want to Build things, work at a startup.

    I’m obsessed with the startup ideation process. Eg. How do we create more hyper-growth companies & what were the top companies really like at the earliest days? This book might be the closest thing to a repeatable framework.

    I’ve learned more in the past 1.5 years running a startup than I did in the previous 10 years of my career. Highly recommend.

    Instead of shopping for things, I shop for startups & founders to invest in 😬 🛍

    Sales is often treated as a dirty word, but really everything is sales.

    On Twitter, you can build a network solely based on your clarity & quality of thought. Incredible.

    Top startups are starting to do 6 days a week in the office. Could not have predicted this a few years ago.

    Recruiting is one of the hardest things you do at a startup but probably THE most important. Your company is your people.

    Your 20s are for figuring out who you are, and your 30s are for being who you are.

    I predict Google will replace Sundar and stock will go bonkers. He might be a great person, just not right CEO right now.
