| | Michael Seibel "We ran one and only one team meeting. It was the product meeting and it happened on the first day of the dev cycle. Sometimes this meeting would go for five hours (sorry)." | | Alex Iskold "In the event you must have a longer meeting, set the agenda and set the time allowed to discuss each topic on the agenda.
Unless you do that there is a chance that a topic will drag on and you will never get to other topics. As a result the whole meeting may run over, and attendees may leave feeling unproductive."

It's also how you treat someone once they're an owner in the company – the information your share and the respect you give them." | | Jessica Livingston and Sam Altman "The most successful founders I have noticed are totally focused on two things,building their product and making something people want, which of course, is our motto, and talking to their users.
