Stay small and build knowledge. Spend very little and do projects until you have a great team and you know a lot and no funding problems before you try to catch the big fish.

Fuck VC culture. It kills your business

I was waiting for the new guy to completely destroy Luigi’s code that nobody wanted to touch and take down the company once and for all

If you're going to do that, take 30% at least. And make yourself CEO.

You know you're going to work a lot, at least reserve yourself the choice on how to work and have a say in how the business is administered.
