Favorite quotes: "You need to spend 90% of your time on understanding really what the problem is. Understanding really what is the alternative. Why is it so important that you come up with a different approach?"

"The most successful companies were built by hacking through that 10% of solution, but spending a lot of time with that 90%."

"Many times you hear, yeah, we validated that there is a problem. But you actually did not understand the underlying need. So there is a much larger problem that you didn't see and is actually much more impactful."
