Startups in 13 Sentences

Paul Graham

A classic...
"You can envision the wealth created by a startup as a rectangle, where one side is the number of users and the other is how much you improve their lives."

In Praise of Failure

Benedict Evans

"But equally, anything with that much potential has a high likelihood of failure - if it was obviously a good idea with no risks, everyone would be doing it. Indeed, it's inherent in really transformative ideas that they look like bad ideas - Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon all did, sometimes several times over."

...the Truth about VC's and How They Don't Make Money

Tomer Dean

"Here we see some good returns, but is it actually realistic to think that the average fund can find this golden ticket? Probably not. The apparent truth is that most VC's aren't doing as well as our "realistic case". Only the good ones. The top 5%."

Distributing the Weight

Alex White

"Transferring any of this weight must be done carefully. If it is handed over all at once or delegated in a haphazard way, it could overwhelm someone not used to handling that load. It needs to be given with plenty of context and support."
