You should be open to sharing your ideas and iterating on them with others to find the best solutions.

I prefer to engage in startup ideas only when there's a concrete concept, as this allows for efficient validation and execution, contrary to the common advice of exploring many alternatives.

I prefer to directly challenge founders on their ideas to gauge their confidence and ability to handle criticism.

I encourage founders to validate their ideas by talking to potential customers before writing any code or raising money.

I'm not limiting myself to good ideas; many of my ideas are not good, but this is relevant to startups because often good ideas look bad initially.

When we give form to an abstract idea, it galvanizes the entire team and provides focus, even if the initial object doesn't become the final design.

It's important to have idea generators on the team who can constantly propose new ideas, even if many of them are not viable.

I want to transform ideas I see into something 100 times better, rather than just copying what others do.
