Fred Wilson quotes about
believe stronger world
I believe Android will be stronger in the developing world than it is in the developed world.
pace use needs
Startups are rapidly changing systems. If you use an annual review cycle, you aren't getting feedback at the same pace that you need to adapt and change the business.
obvious-things ideas people
Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
new-york real technology
New York's niche is content, and content is becoming more valuable. Just think about what is more valuable: MTV or the cable system that you use to get MTV? Howard Stern or the radio station you use to listen to him? Ultimately, technology becomes a commodity, and content - real, true branded content - becomes more valuable.
moving past organization
You simply can't be tentative in a startup. You have to go for it at every chance you get. And if the leader of the organization is anxious, his or her fear pervades the organization. Everything comes from the top in a company. So if you are starting a company or building one, face your fears and move past them. It's critically important to your company.
ideas ifs
If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
information bits
Money is information, like bits.
fundraising facts raises
The fact is that the amount of money startups raise in their seed and Series A rounds is inversely correlated with success
good-business comes-and-goes
Markets come and go. Good business don't.
