Lean Startup

“This is one of the recommendations from the book The Lean Startup.”

“This is a classic book for entrepreneurs.”

“This book has been a great source of inspiration for me and I think it's a must-read for all entrepreneurs.”

“I think for me, the biggest piece is I am a people person, I want to build the team, I want to do this with other people, but it's hard because at some point there's always a goodbye. Like it's very, very wrong. And I think that's the thing that's so rare that everybody gets to come with you. They say that when you double a business, I think it's like a very small percentage of people that could possibly handle that double the size.”

“This is a foundational book that I think everyone in tech should read.”

“So if you end up hearing this again, please don't hold it against me. There was this incredible experiment at Stanford and they take a big kind of tub and they fill it with water and they drop a mouse in it and they measure how long it takes for the mouse to drown. They did it over and over and over again and the mean amount of time was around 15 minutes.”
