A few quick takeaways:

• In a very new industry, you have two choices:

  • young people with no experience

  • or old people with no experience

  • (might as well go young)

• I think we dramatically underestimate what the smartest young people can do if they have 1-2 voices of wisdom in their ear

Maybe the best way to measure someone’s performance is to send them on a 3 week vacation and see how much pain ensues.

Evan Williams has one of my favorite all-time quotes when it comes to building businesses:

That’s exactly what Mercury does. It takes one of the most basic human needs - managing money - and removes all the friction that’s been part of it for decades.

No more clunky interfaces. No more running to the bank for simple tasks. No more wasting time juggling a million tabs just to see the financial health of your company.

Mercury simplifies business banking** by cutting out the unnecessary steps, so you can get back to running your business.

That’s why Mercury’s so great. And it’s already being used by 200,000 ambitious founders.
