    We had the pleasure of sitting down with Claire Hughes Johnson, COO of Stripe. She is an amazingly clear thinker about leadership and management - this is one my favorite videos we’ve done

    When I first moved to SF, I would drive down the 101 and admire all the tech billboards. Never thought I’d get to put up my own boards — thanks for the opportunity , , and J Zac. Kudos to & for the awesome design. 🚀

    Rejection, fear, and stress in moderate doses can make you stronger. Embrace a little bit of negativity.

    Great company culture comes from people giving a shit. That happens when people believe their company has a chance to do something great and that what they do personally has a real impact.

    As an aside, the business models for Adwords, FB Ads, and AWS are truly amazing. I can’t think of any other products people will pay 6 figures for without talking to anyone. Best of both worlds. Which I guess helps explain the market caps.

    I don't have real data to support this, but anecdotally there are lot of great private saas companies like that appear to more or less fit this model.

    I suspect that as time goes on we'll see relatively more of the latter type of companies. Markets are getting larger, software is getting better and easier to use, and go-to-market models are shifting.

    Basically, it seems like the most successful models are to either provide a ridiculous amount of value to a moderate number of people, or moderate amount value to a ridiculous number of people.

    At the other you have companies like Atlassian, Dropbox, and Shopify that serve an extremely large base and a relatively low price point. These require a self-serve product that is easy to use and mass appeal / utility.

    At one end you have companies like Workday, Veeva, ServiceNow doing massive deals. These require complex products, sophisticated sales, and high touch implementations.

    I’ve had a lot of conversations lately about ACV (annual contract value) and how deeply it impacts saas companies. It seems like many of the best saas companies have a relatively bimodal distribution with respect to ACV.

    A bunch of founders have asked me if I have any advice for yc interviews. I think it’s the same as any early stage pitch: 1. What do you do and why is it valuable? No marketing speak. 2. Why is it a bad idea to bet against your team? 3. How can your idea become huge?

    Don't be too happy when you get good news or too upset when you get bad news. You can't always tell which is which anyway.

    A really important skill for managers is learning how to jump into things they aren’t close to and add energy and context rather than confusion and churn.

    A design lives and dies by its designer’s understanding of the problem. Understand the problem.
