"Stick with it all the way. It's the only way to succeed in startups." - @eshear
“Learning-experience is specific to every startup. Even that biz dev device I just gave, for some co, it’s wrong.” @eshear #startupschool
"Don’t do business development deals if you’re running an early stage company. It’s a gigantic waste of time." - @eshear #startupschool
"We built and launched 6 startup ideas in 1.5 years. ADD prevents you from succeeding, but we learned a lot about coding." - @eshear
Jawbone went from $0-$70M revenue in 1 year. "When you focus ruthlessly...you can transform your business overnight.” - @hosain
After Jawbone shut down, the founders went for 2 years without salaries. - @hosain #startupschool
“The only place people are going to clip that is in your mind.” - Steve Jobs on early Jawbone device @hosain #startupschool
In early days, @hosain kept the lights on at Jawbone with DARPA funding. #startupschool
The avg time to exit or IPO is 8 years. Pick something you're willing to put your blood, sweat & tears into for at least that long. -@zatlyn
On finding good cofounders: "Michelle has ego but no vanity. If you find people like that, keep them around you." - @eastdakota
"As a startup your greatest asset is momentum. You have to make progress faster than incumbents." - @zatlyn #startupschool
On finding good cofounders: Ask "Do we cover a lot of surface area? Do we have complementary skill sets? Do we trust each other?" - @zatlyn
"If you’re cofounders and you’re fighting about who does what, you’re probably in the wrong founding team." - @eastdakota #startupschool
"going public is awful. it's really the worst thing we ever did, and i think groupon would be different if we didn't." -@andrewmason
Groupon generated a playbook for cities, so opening up in a new city was a rinse and repeat process. -@andrewmason #startupschool
Groupon started as a side project while @andrewmason was working on The Point & became the fastest growing company in history #startupschool
