Sam Altman, the former president of Y Combinator, has seen thousands of startups rise and fall. The best founders? They follow these 9 principles. šŸ­. š—šš—²š˜ š—¢š—Æš˜€š—²š˜€š˜€š—²š—± š˜„š—¶š˜š—µ š—¬š—¼š˜‚š—æ š—Øš˜€š—²š—æš˜€ The best founders personally talk to their customers. Brian Chesky, the founder of Airbnb, even lived with them! You don’t just build for your users; you build with them. šŸ®. š— š—¼š˜ƒš—² š—™š—®š˜€š˜, š—œš˜š—²š—æš—®š˜š—² š—™š—®š˜€š˜š—²š—æ Successful startups have short feedback loops. Talk to customers → improve product → launch → repeat. If you get just 2% better every day, you’ll be unstoppable in a few years. šŸÆ. š—§š—µš—¶š—»š—ø š—Ÿš—¼š—»š—“-š—§š—²š—æš—ŗ Most founders think in 2-3 years. The best founders think in decades. Amazon wasn’t built overnight. If you commit for 10 years, you’ll make smarter decisions and attract the right people. šŸ°. š—¦š˜š—®š˜† š—¦š—ŗš—®š—¹š—¹ š—Øš—»š˜š—¶š—¹ š—¬š—¼š˜‚ā€™š—æš—² š—„š—²š—®š—±š˜† š˜š—¼ š—¦š—°š—®š—¹š—² Big teams slow you down. In the early days, you need to pivot quickly. Keep your team lean until your product is working. Then, scale. šŸ±. š—›š—¶š—æš—² š—¢š—»š—¹š˜† š˜š—µš—² š—•š—²š˜€š˜ā€”š—¢š—æ š——š—¼š—»ā€™š˜ š—›š—¶š—æš—² š—®š˜ š—”š—¹š—¹ Your company is your team. A small team of great people beats a big team of mediocre ones. The best founders spend most of their time hiring and keeping top talent. šŸ². š—„š—²š—¹š—²š—»š˜š—¹š—²š˜€š˜€ š—˜š˜…š—²š—°š˜‚š˜š—¶š—¼š—» š—Ŗš—¶š—»š˜€ Details matter.

You don’t need it on Day 1, but within the first two years, you must know why your startup exists. That mission will attract great talent, press, and customers. š—™š—¶š—»š—®š—¹ š—§š—µš—¼š˜‚š—“š—µš˜ Building a startup is hard. But if you do these 9 things relentlessly, your chances of success skyrocket. Which of these principles do you need to improve on?
