- "Every 7-8 years, the financial markets kill off some of the biggest funding eaters and make room for another generation of smaller, faster-moving start-ups."
- "Agile engineering teams often build the wrong products twice as fast!"
- "The really successful start-ups are those that believe that they are half right, and half wrong, and quickly figure out which half is wrong"
- "A common problem is that product teams often create and ship a product that is not worth building."
