“One of the really hard things to do as an entrepreneur is to not try and solve for too many problems at once. I’ve found it is one of the first things I end up talking to early stage entrepreneurs about (twice today, actually). And something I struggle with myself.”

“Try picking just one thing. Try making sure you will knock out of the park in the next 1, 2, or 3 months. It’s incredibly hard. But I think we all intuitively know it virtually never “all comes together” — it happens by simply, clearly, solving things one move at a time.”

Don’t let people tell you your ideas won’t work. If you have a hunch that something will work, go build it. Ignore the haters.

Join me in backing THE book for designers. This book is the equivalent of Founders at Work, a collection of interviews and stories of startup founder who are also great designers.

Tech focused Silicon Valley has always lauded the engineers. Now it’s time for the product designers to be celebrated. Afterall, doesn’t every product or website need to be designed?

Back it on Kickstarter

While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.
