𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗻 (𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟬 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲) Big companies are like giant boats with 1,000 people rowing. But there’s a problem: No matter how hard you row, it barely moves faster. Why? Because your effort gets lost in the crowd. Now think about this: What if you take just 𝟏𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 and put them in a smaller boat? Every person matters. If one slacks, everyone feels it. If one pushes harder, the boat moves faster. That’s the 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬. But Paul Graham says the magic happens when those 10 people are the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 — Smart, driven, and motivated. Now you don’t just have a small team. You have an 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦. In startups, you’re not just “10 people.” You’re 𝟏𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞. Who want to work hard. Who want to build something big. That’s why startups move faster, build better things, and grow quicker. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬 once said: “The success of a startup depends on the first 10 people.” Paul Graham agrees — maybe it’s even just 𝟓. So if you’re building something, Don’t just add people. Add the 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 people. That’s how startups win.
