"Even though we talk about the power of the self-service, developer-led model, we do believe that sales is a critical part of our long-term success. We have to be great at both engineering and engineering culture, and sales and sales culture — and have mutual respect between the two. I think that's really hard to pull off."
"Moving upmarket is not just about product, it's also about the end to end experience. Think about if you're going out to dinner, if you're paying $10, you've got certain expectations about that. Now if you're paying $100 for dinner, you have different expectations, and it isn't just about the food anymore, right? You need to think about that whole customer experience. You need to change your blueprint."

"For true retention, ask yourself if you're hiring people who are intrinsically motivated. People at Stripe care about the product but they also care about the global impact of what we're building. Part of our recruiting process actually tests for excitement and motivation to be part of the mission."
"Nobody here remembers what valuation Google or Amazon or any of these companies went public with —
it doesn't matter.
What matter is that you grow up and get out there. For any kind of fundraising, it's ultimately not about the valuation. It's really about the team and the path you set yourseld up for after that."
