The obsession with early moats distracts startups from the real work of building lasting value. A moat is a sustainable competitive advantage that a company possesses, which protects it from competitors. Few startups are built on moats, or they cease to really be startups shortly thereafter.

There is a flaw at the heart of the term Minimum Viable Product: it’s not a product. It’s a way of testing whether you’ve found a problem worth solving. A way to reduce risk and quickly test your biggest assumption. Instead of building an MVP identify your Riskiest Assumption and Test it. Replacing your MVP with a RAT will save you a lot of pain.

Effective communication is a key ingredient to work together, advance your career and make work a happy experience. When communication breaks down at work, more time is wasted in filling gaps in alignment and expectations and less in productive work. Instead of seeking perfect alignment, focus on what’s within your control and the practices you can adopt.

Newchip, once strutting its stuff alongside the big guns like Y-Combinator, found itself in a real pickle. It's been ordered to shut down and liquidate while under the shadow of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. These startups, who'd shelled out anywhere between $8K to $20K, were left holding the bag with unfulfilled promises.
