I began applying principles of human progress to my business, which has led to tremendous success and the need for continual renewal to counteract entropy.

The speed of learning and adaptation is critical in entrepreneurship, as it allows for quicker pivots and reinventions, which are essential for staying competitive.

The frigate bird, which has vestigial oil glands and cannot dive for fish like other birds, symbolizes the importance of adaptation in both nature and business, especially in the challenging biotech environment where entrepreneurs must adapt or die by reprioritizing, raising funds smartly, and staying agile to survive and thrive.

I read a book every week, and one of my favorites is 'Origin of Wealth,' which discusses the evolution of biology and business.

When evaluating a founder, I look for adaptability and the ability to learn continuously, as each entrepreneurial journey is unique.

You don't need to read business books to learn how to excel in business; you can find inspiration in natural wonders, like witnessing the birth of an octopus.

I believe that self-improvement is essential for entrepreneurs; it's important to work on personal growth alongside business development.

The evolution of startup ideas is common; founders adapt their concepts based on user feedback and market demands, which is crucial for success.

When faced with a harsh reality, like a startup's decline, it's essential to change your understanding and adapt your business model accordingly.
