Quotes:
“Successful entrepreneurs are not very ego driven, they’re actually very humble, and they work in the best interest of the problem and customers.” (5:23)
“The best source of funding is through customers. If you can solve a problem that customers value, and you can iterate with them on that solution. Then customers who buy the product, subscribe, etc, they can then fund the rest of the product development.” (8:48)
“Being an entrepreneur fundamentally means that you’re a problem solver, because you have a hypothesis of trying to solve a problem that you’re trying to monetize and build a company around.” (18:57)
