When I first met Oliver and Alex in 2014, I was working at Homejoy, YC's darling startup and rocket ship (which folded the following year). They actually shared a tiny office with
@spenserskates and Curtis who were building Amplitude.

I was new to Startup Land and only knew what we were doing at Homejoy. So it didn't make any sense to me that they weren't trying to raise as much money and get as much press as humanly possible. They were wise.

There are so many different paths you can take when you start a company. (I mean, here I am, one-woman show of a lifestyle business
) I don't think any path is better than the others, but most founders don't even know what their options are when they start!1 reply 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -
And when you don't have a strong opinion about _how_ you want to build your company, external forces will decide for you. Investors, advisors, the media, even friends and family will choose for you. And most of the time, these decisions are irreversible.

I think this is important to talk about because the biggest barrier to starting a company for me was thinking that I had to do it the same way all of the other growth-at-all-costs startups in SF were doing it. And lemme tell ya, it just ain't true.
