“Fail fast forward. Take calculated risks early, test constantly, and don’t wait for perfect conditions.”
“Real innovation happens when you bring customers into the process. Co-develop with them—don’t just build for them.”
“Where you start almost never ends up being the winning strategy. Stay flexible, stay focused on solving the right problem.”
“Video is the most powerful content medium—but it’s still too hard to create. We’re here to change that.”
