the ability 2 learn/understand is directly correlated 2 fearlessness in admitting ignorance + asking lots of dumb Qs.
steps 2 create a great startup: 1) make it fun 2) make it worthwhile 3) do it with fun, worthwhile people. #500strong
DEAR VCs/ANGELS: if you ask for pro-forma revenue projections for immature startups, you are wasting their time. STOP IT.
