| | Geoff Ralston and Michael Seibel "When it comes to customers most founders don't realize that they get to choose customers as much as customers get to choose them. We often say that a small group of customers who love you is better than a large group who kind of like you. In other words, recruiting 10 customers who have a burning problem is much better than 1000 customers who have a passing annoyance." | | Mike Krieger "One of our themes was being the fastest photo-sharing app in the world. What are we working toward within that theme? Next, we wanted to make the photos look incredible, way beyond what you'd expect from a cell phone. What are we doing on that? Anything that didn't fit into those things went by the wayside. And you want engineers who are okay with that." | | Dave Parker "Keep in mind, these early investors are taking the most risk at this stage of your company and most don't want to simply get paid back their principal and interest. They are looking to actually own the stock." | | Rohan Pradhan "This was a chance to rebuild something that I'd always wanted to do, to create selection where it didn't exist." | |
