Very ambitious startups often take a long time to work - or sometimes they take a very long time to look ambitious.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Startups have finite time and resources to find product/market fit before they run out of money. Therefore startups trade off certainty for speed, adopting 'good enough decision making' and iterating and pivoting as they fail, learn, and discover their business model.
People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.
I think sometimes we in the industry have to do ambitious projects.
Working on a startup is a balancing act: being crazy enough to believe your idea can take off but not crazy enough to miss the signs when it's clearly not going to.
The bigger a company gets, the more people are involved in decisions, the slower decisions get made. Look, the whole theory of startups is that three motivated people can go and do something that every company can't.
Everybody is ambitious. The question is whether he is ambitious to be or ambitious to do.
The life of a startup is full of ups and downs, an emotional roller coaster ride that you can't quite imagine if you've spent your whole career in a corporation.
Anybody can be ambitious.
Startup stories are always smoother in the telling than they are in reality. A startup is not one, but a series of 'Aha!' moments, and some which seem like 'Aha!' moments but turn out not to be.
Ambition never is in a greater hurry than I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.
