An interesting trait that many of the most successful people I interview have:
In their childhood, they moved schools, countries, cultures a lot more than normal.
They got used to starting again, being the newbie and making it work. 🚀
Over the last dozen years, there have been approximately 250-300 Thiel Fellows. Easily produced more value than all of NYU, Columbia, Penn, Brown Cornell grads combined.
If stock markets, inflation, or Elon Musk got you feeling down, try to remember:
We’re just a bunch of weird looking creatures taking ourselves too seriously while hurtling through empty space at 67,000 miles per hour.
@micahjay1 If you’re truly early, you don’t have much of a choice. Other Startups give you a chance and the paperwork / red tape to get a deal done is infinitely less than selling to F500. Ability to go upmarket quickly is critical, but it doesn’t have to be immediate.
