Intro

• "The best startup ideas are the ones that seem like bad ideas but are good ideas"
  
• "Don’t work with people you don’t have a good feeling about"
  
• "Every day, figure out what the 2 or 3 most important things for you to do are. Do those and ignore other distractions."
  
• "Work really hard. Everyone wants a secret to success other than this; if it exists, I haven’t found it yet."
  
• "Keep doing this for 10 years."

Startup Matrix

What is the flavour of culture in your company

• Some companies are dominated by engineering. HP was one. Sales was irrelevant compared to building the best product.
  
• Some are dominated by data, like Google.
  
• Others may be dominated by Product Management or Strategy.
  
• Cisco is Sales. No-one else counts, no other function can win. It is sales all the way.
  And Sales is always a cut-throat culture if it is not mediated.
  

Other

• Come for the tool, stay for the network
  
• Status as service - good analysis of "why" in social networks. And "social capital theory"
