change it is the
learners who inherit
the future. The
learned usually find
themselves equipped
to live in a world that
no longer exists.

It is simply
impossible to predict
with any useful
degree of precision
how disruptive
products will be used
or how large their
markets will be.

Startups are not small
versions of big
companies.
A startup is a temporary
organization to discover
an unmet customer need
and then to develop a
highly scalable business
model around it.

working on Android
when it was a little
startup we bought. It
wasn’t really what we
were working on.
That was stupid. That
was the future.

Guessing the right
strategy at the onset
isn’t nearly as
important to success
as conserving enough
resources to get a
second or third stab at
getting it right.

enough real value for
which customers will
pay real money.
