You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are a lot more companies with a lot younger people. It is just like 23-year-olds are starting companies, and they are scaling really quickly.
Great companies are built on great products.
Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck.
Companies that have been built and operated for a long time are the most successful companies.
Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.
The greatest job creation is driven by entrepreneurs and young businesses, so they merit special attention.
Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.
The bad thing about young people starting a company is that sometimes they do it for the wrong reasons or because they have the wrong skill set, but the good thing is that they don't have any of the old paradigms baked into them, so they have a lot of the bright new ideas that are harder to come by as you get older.
So it takes years to make a solid company.
I think that companies always become complacent, over time. Or most companies, that is.
