Here’s a summary of their chat:
On Embracing the Startup Adventure:
"They don't realise you're offering Adventure, you're offering the unknown. An adventure isn't here's my idea for a social network for dogs, will you build my website? No, let's build a company together. That's adventure."
On the Necessity of Great Engineers in Tech-Enabled Businesses:
"The more that we're exposed to seeing what these companies look like at the earliest stages, even if they don't look like strictly tech businesses... there's no way these things would have gotten off the ground without having a really great person who cared as much as a co-founder cares."
On the Compounding Effect of Hiring:
"When you start with a team of business people assessing engineers... all of your future engineers are... it compounds bad."
On the Value of Recruiting Skills:
"There are a lot of very successful non-technical people in our network that do amazing work, and one of the things... they're great recruiters... they find a way to get that person to work with them."
