More quotes by Alexis Ohanian
Because it's so empowering, I want people to think about being entrepreneurial regardless. They don't have to start companies, but that's what makes them great employees, that's what makes them great citizens.
Alexis Ohanian
The reality is, there's still so much we haven't yet figured out. There's still so much stuff that has not been made more, frankly, efficient.

You can throw - and we've seen plenty of these kinds of companies - millions of dollars in advertising for a website or a service, and in the end if it's not useful no one's going to use it.

Facebook makes me hate the people I know, and Reddit makes me love the people I don't.
Alexis Ohanian
If I didn't believe in rooting for founders and investing in founders, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite.
Alexis Ohanian
Having ideas and doing them - that's what entrepreneurship comes down to. That's something that makes you not just a great founder who I want to invest in, but also a great employee or someone I want to work with.

The Internet is such a tough marketplace because everyone is a click away from going back to a cat photo, or going back to whatever else they were doing. You have to win them over, and do it quickly, and do it by making something people actually want.

Alexis Ohanian
Do not be scared of the incumbents.
Alexis Ohanian
Even if you have no interest in starting a company, having the experience of having ideas and doing them, that's muscle to exercise because that's what people are going to want to see. That's what makes you different.
Alexis Ohanian
I can't begrudge anyone who opts to get a job instead of creating one for themselves.
Alexis Ohanian
I like sarcasm. I like snark.
Alexis Ohanian
I want to be in an industry where the upstarts can grow and displace the incumbents, because that's why there's so much innovation.
Alexis Ohanian
Net neutrality is one where we the people are definitely on the ropes.
Alexis Ohanian
I think everyone should learn how to code.
Alexis Ohanian
The first step, and the thing that everyone has to do right on the Internet is make something people want.
Alexis Ohanian
I don't have a crystal ball, but if you can ever put yourself in a situation where you are indispensable - where you aren't part of what looks like a fad, but you actually are a company, a brand that people trust and go to - at this point, you could put some of the mainstays of tech on anything, right?
Alexis Ohanian
It turns out the Internet is this amazing resource for everyone who has access to it.
Alexis Ohanian
I actually haven't even found a curriculum in America that is really preparing people for this 21st century world.

The weird thing about reddit is that, for a community its size - now I'm no longer at reddit, but the public traffic numbers that they put out are, I think with the site about eight million unique visitors a month, or every 30 days, which is a fairly big site.
