  Vincent Chan
  • How many startups fail
  • How much startups' ideas change
  • 9 more annotations...
  • • half the startups were doing something significantly different than
      they started with.
    • you have to follow the truth wherever it leads
    • How scrappy founders are
    • It wouldn't be a compliment in most organizations to call someone
      scrappy.
    • It's basically the diminutive form of
      belligerent. Someone who's scrappy manages to be both threatening
      and undignified at the same time.
    • that the way to succeed was to launch something
      fast, listen to users, and then iterate; that startups required
      resilience because they were always an emotional rollercoaster; and
      that most VCs were sheep.
    • They're not trying to impress
      anyone
    • How important it is for founders to have people to ask for advice
    • it's just a slightly
      more concentrated form of existing Valley culture.
