"there has to be a better way"

Experience is a liability

You can't do it part time

So close

The team is important

"A" players

Know your weaknesses

Make sure you get along

the tinyhippos

Solve a real problem

Pivot

The problem you start with may not be the problem you end with

pivots come in all sizes

Talk to real people

Fail Early

Fail fast, fail cheap

Start on solid ground

a foundation is key

Stay thrifty my friends

Get free stuff

it's all around you

Thanks
