It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.
Alexis Ohanian
Entrepreneur is just French for 'has ideas, does them'.
Alexis Ohanian
I like sarcasm. I like snark.

The great thing about the Internet is, it's the freest marketplace of ideas that there is.

We were very, very lucky being in the first round of Y Combinator because that alone generated a lot of interest. A lot of readers of Paul Graham were just excited to see what was going to come up. And we were the first ones to launch.

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.

Do not be scared of the incumbents.
Alexis Ohanian
Everything is derivative. Everything is a remix, and we all stand on the shoulders of giants - a great phrase.

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?

I guess if you include contractors that are six or seven people working on reddit, but when we got acquired there were basically three and then in the years since, we've added three more developer hires full time, and a community manger. But the site is still remarkably small.
Alexis Ohanian
I think everyone should learn how to code.
Alexis Ohanian
Facebook makes me hate the people I know, and Reddit makes me love the people I don't.
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.
Alexis Ohanian
The people who are going to be succeeding are not going to be waiting around for anyone's permission.
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
Every founder has to delude themselves into thinking, Yes, it's going to be big. It's going to take over the world.
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
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.
Alexis Ohanian
It takes discipline not to let social media steal your time.
