Peter Thiel's advice to early-stage startups:

"One basic frame is that if you're starting a company, you always start small.

So how do you get to monopoly when you're small?

Answer, you start with a very small market. And the conventional business thing is always you want to go after really big markets.

There are no big markets without lots of competition.

You never want to go after big markets. You want to go after small markets.

Facebook started with 10,000 people at Harvard. It was such a small market, it could not have been funded.

It would not have been funded by investors if you'd actually pitched it.

So it sort of bootstrapped the whole thing. It went from 0% to 60% market share in 10 days. That was actually a very auspicious start.

Now, PayPal, we went after 30,000 power sellers on eBay.

Again, sort of a subset of a subset of a subset of the payment space, but it has these very distinct, unique characteristics that made it a well-defined market.

We got to about 30%, 35% market share in three months. Again, a very, very promising start.

There was a tremendous amount that went wrong with all the clean tech companies in the last decade.

And I think failure is always a little bit overrated because people can't learn much from failure.

When you fail, you normally failed for multiple reasons. You failed for reasons A, B, C, D, E, and F. And maybe you think you failed because of A.

Next time around, you'll fail for the other five reasons.

So that's why I think we often make the mistake of... of overrating failure in various contexts.

Cleantech failed for many different reasons. But one that I think is very important, and people haven't thought about enough, is that the markets were just way too big.

Every PowerPoint presentation you saw in the period 2005 to 2008 started with, we are in the energy market. And this is a market that's in the hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.

And then it's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that market.

And then you end up with a dynamic where you have to beat the other nine thin film solar panel companies.

Then you have to beat the other 90 solar panel companies.

Then you have to beat the wind companies.

And then fracking comes out of right field. And China comes out of left field.

And you're sort of like this minnow in this vast ocean.

And there's just competition everywhere, most of it not even visible from the point at which you get started."

Pavel Durov on why he hasn't had depression in 20 years:

"I normally never have depression. I don't remember having depression in the last 20 years, at least maybe when I was a teenager."

Pavel's approach to difficult emotions is completely counterintuitive.

As he puts it:

"I'm a human being like everybody else. I do get to experience emotions and some of them are not very pleasant. But I believe that it's the responsibility of every one of us to cope with these emotions and to learn to work through them."

On what creates depression:

"Self-discipline is particularly important because without it, how can you overcome this seemingly endless loop of negativity or despair that ultimately leads to depression for some people?"

His method:

"One of the reasons I don't have depression is I start doing things. I identify the problem, I can see a solution, and I start executing the strategy. If you are stuck in this loop of being worried about something, nothing's ever going to change."

The mistake people make:

"People often make this mistake thinking 'Oh, I should just have some rest and then regain energy.' This is not how it works. You gain energy by doing something. So you start doing something, then it happens. You feel motivated, you feel inspired, and then ultimately you do something else a little bit more."

He continues:

"The whole point is to do first and then feel, not feel and then do. Going to the gym is a good example. There are many days when you don't want to start working out. But you have to overcome this initial reluctance and then you get to a point that you enjoy it and you think 'Oh my god, it was such a good idea to come to gym today.'"

Action creates energy, not the other way around.
