Sometimes I run a thought experiment in my mind: what if your startup was competing against the greatest founders? How hard would you push and how would you execute if you knew you had to go head on against the Collison brothers or the Airbnbs? Now just act like that anyway.
I do a similar thought experiment when I hear startup ideas: how big would this get if you gave it to the Collisons to execute? Every YC batch I see 20 ideas that would yield billion dollar companies if you did.

@sama said there was an experiment that proved giving ideas to great founders to test the viability of those ideas under the best management circumstances turned out badly (all of them failed in the first year because the founders weren't emotionally invested). Thoughts on this?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ok, Paul. I’ll keep that in mind. My goal for next year: Soak in Collisons’ material – Podcasts, books, articles, tweets, etc. and learn how they think... implement in my life... reflect... improve... repeat until I become an amazing founder.

But don’t forget to keep what makes you special.

Paul, any chance you’ll explore what you see in their execution abilities?

Expanding on the thought would be killer. How much is it either them individually or the combo makes them shine through the roof?
