When evaluating founders, I look for their willingness to act decisively and quickly, rather than delaying for complex plans.

Overthinking can be a founder's biggest mistake, leading to stress and indecision due to the lack of constraints and guidance in a startup environment.

Don't overthink your startup decisions; focus on what's truly important and be willing to move on if something isn't working.

It's important for founders to give themselves permission to not excel at everything and to focus on what truly drives their business forward.

Founders should be proactive in making tough decisions to steer their startups towards profitability, rather than relying on external pressures or advice.

Indecisiveness can kill a startup; successful founders have a bias towards action and get things done quickly.

Execution is often the most critical part of starting a company, and founders must be prepared for a long grind focused on execution.

By putting customers first, founders can better assess whether certain innovations are truly necessary or if they should focus on achieving success with their initial startup before exploring more complex ideas.

It's essential for founders to focus on creating something that people genuinely want, rather than getting sidetracked by other operational challenges.
