If you are an entrepreneur, why?

I want to build products that people use

What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

how critical your time is to succeeding - the only resource that matters

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?

Don't know about that - but the #1 mistake I made in my last cycle was not working hard enough to find the version of my idea that could take off NOW!

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

1) careful on initial conditions of founding & funding & structure - you never recover from original sin.
2) set the slope before you get too much x
3) product greatness isn't enough to achieve the slope you need to get money
