Spoke to a room packed with enthusiastic students about starting up, the usual buzz that surrounds this phenomenon and how reality is different - well, a bitch.
15. Happens like in The Social Network
Or any other Aaron Sorkin movie for that sake.
16. I need $500K for building a prototype.
Are you building a Nest thermostat? Or Google Glass?
17. I’m CEO, bitch.
You’re not CEO. You’re a founder. A plumber. An electrician. A salesman. A
designer. A developer. Do all this right, and maybe … one day you’ll be CEO.
18. I’ve a $1B idea. I’m Zuck.
Load of bull. Billion dollar ideas don’t exist. Billion dollar companies do.
19. You thief, sign an NDA.
Nobody is gonna steal your idea. Chill.
48. Would love to catch up.
