StartupThoughts collects what people have said about building companies.
Every line names who said it and where it came from, with a link out to the source. Most run to a sentence or two. If you find something misattributed, tell me and I will fix it.
Much of it comes from Central Asia rather than Silicon Valley: founders working now in Tashkent and Almaty, and older writers from Bukhara and Khorezm who were blunt about work and money. Where a line was not said in English, the original sits underneath the translation.
Press random thought until something useful comes up.
Anyone can add a thought. It takes a minute and needs no account.
The site is free and carries no advertising or tracking. It copies musicthoughts.com, which Derek Sivers has run since 1999.
