The Startup Zeitgeist

Jared Friedman

"But the biggest trend in the last couple of batches has been the surge in interest in applying AI to everything. Even these graphs understate the extent to which AI is now playing a role in many companies' ideas."

Creating Good Company Culture

Kathryn Minshew

"One of the most well-known of those, you might have seen it on our job descriptions, is "No assholes." People love to joke about that. They're like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you say that, but a lot of companies say that." And that's true."

Leading Predictor Of Series A Valuation For SaaS Companies

Tomasz Tunguz

"The data underscores why building a great product is the first order of business for a startup and why developing great customer success should be the second order of business. Many founders do this instinctively, and develop a cadre of reference customers."

Inevitability in Technology

Benedict Evans

"The problem was not that a few senior executives looked at the iPhone and didn't get it, but that they had committed to a software and component model five years or more earlier that made it structurally impossible for them to match the iPhone (or its Android cousin) in time."
