I think the best founders start with a mission and purpose rather than focusing solely on making money.

Founding documents, including a clear mission statement and long-term goals, are essential for guiding a startup's direction and purpose.

The ability to articulate a clear mission and target is vital for a founder to assemble a supportive network and attract investors and employees.

The most important lesson I've learned is that it's really hard to decide to start a company before you understand what you want to do.

When starting a startup, it's crucial to have a co-founder, a clear idea, and to have built something to test with potential customers; these steps indicate focus.

Aspiring founders often mistakenly believe that the first step to starting a company is to create a pitch for investors, but the first step should be identifying who you want to work with and what you want to build.

Focusing on the right problems is crucial for startup success, and it's important to identify what truly matters for your business.

The most important thing when starting a company is having a really great team.

Your initial motivations for starting a company, such as the desire to make money or curiosity, are less important than the enduring motivations that develop over time.
