“Like having a child, running a startup is the sort of experience that'...” — Paul Graham Quote

Like having a child, running a startup is the sort of experience that's hard to imagine unless you've done it yourself.

There are few sources of energy so powerful as a procrastinating college student.

In the startup world, 'not working' is normal.

One startup I dream of funding is the one that kills the record companies.

You can't distinguish your group by doing things that are rational and believing things that are true. If you want to set yourself apart from other people you have to do things that are arbitrary and believe things that are false.

We are calling ourselves a startup nation, but the number of people who set out on their own is very low; even 10,000 a year would be low in a country like India. We can say we are a startup nation but the world won't say it.

The reality of a startup is you have failures very often.

I got really excited about the idea of data-driven startup just as I was starting Kaggle.

I didn't even know that there was a startup culture, that there were events with people who built businesses. When I started meeting those people and going in to that world, I felt like I was among my people for the first time in my life.
