The document provides tips for building and scaling a startup based on Rashmi Sinha's experience with SlideShare. Some key points discussed include: focusing on solving problems well and making the app social; the importance of speed in development, design, and releases; listening to behavioral metrics over just the loudest users; outsourcing complexity to services like AWS and focusing on execution over ideas. Remote teams require synchronous communication like Skype and careful execution is more important than ideas or features. Understanding the potential market size and revenue models is also discussed.
