"It's not about winning and losing, It's about doing something that is valuable."<p>"You only experience two emotions in startups. Euphoria and terror."<p>"As a startup CEO I slept like a baby: I woke up every two hours and cried."

Some notes/quotes that I took:<p>"We'd rather make a small number of people really happy, instead of a large number of people somewhat happy."<p>"Investors are herders, not followers. You have to plant that they are going to loose out on the deal if they drag their feet."<p>"Be great at 1 thing!"<p>"You have to build something that is not slightly better, or even 2x better, but 10x better than an existing product/competition."
