Sam Altman's Concise Startup Wisdom: Build, Grow, and Persist

This blog post offers brief but powerful startup advice. Start with an idea, not a company, and ensure at least one technical founder is on board. Focus on creating something users love and rapidly iterate based on their feedback. Keep your burn rate low until you have product-market fit. Obsess about growth, hire exceptional people, and fire quickly when necessary. Ignore press hype and generate revenue early. Don't waste time on trivial matters, focus intensely on what matters most, and learn to manage people effectively. Work hard and persist for the long haul.
