Be Good

About a month after we started Y Combinator we came up with the phrase that became our motto: Make something people want. We've learned a lot since then, but if I were choosing now that's still the one I'd pick.

The only thing that matters to a company of any size is its product and customer experience. That's it. That's what creates value. The number and type of people who work at a company do not matter. The bureaucracy that develops to manage those people does not matter. The only thing that matters is what gets ultimately produced by the entire system of an organization. If you think of it this way, then you can't be influenced by the ridiculous inertia of political crap that has developed internally. If there are deficiencies in the product or experience that leads to decreased value for the customer, it’s because some part of the system is broken. So you fix the system in such a way that you cannot produce bad products or experiences. Those fixes might include things like a reduction in workforce, hiring more talented employees, or changing bureaucratic rules. It doesn't really matter as long as the product improves. But how to know when the product is improving?
