"The most important thing in a startup is finding the right co-founders. Everything else follows from that."

"At Founders Fund, we back founders who want to build transformative companies, not just successful exits."

"The best investments are in companies that create new markets rather than compete in existing ones."

"We look for founders who are obsessed with their problem, not founders who are obsessed with being founders."

"In venture capital, your reputation is everything. We try to be the investors founders want to work with."

"PayPal succeeded because we were willing to do things that seemed crazy at the time."

"The best entrepreneurs I know are relentlessly curious about how things work."

"Technology should make things dramatically better, not incrementally better."
