If I didn't believe in rooting for founders and investing in founders, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite.
Alexis Ohanian
I try to help founders as much as I can, but so many of us we won't even take meetings with people who still just have an idea, because everyone has an idea.

The social-media landscape changes incredibly fast, so you have to be open-minded and nimble to keep up with it.

It turns out the Internet is this amazing resource for everyone who has access to it.

Obviously solving the education problem is big and complex, and there's already so many failings, but coding is the new fluency. This is the most valuable skill of this century. If you want to be a founder of a company, and not even just a tech company, but like a founder of a company, because I'm telling you software is going to play a role.
Alexis Ohanian
It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.
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
If you look now, more than ever new entrants, new upstarts, are able to grow so much faster than they could before.
Alexis Ohanian
I think everyone should learn how to code.

Nothing will replace good journalism.
Alexis Ohanian
Having that kind of endorsement and having Paul Graham's readership coming to your site and contributing to it and building the foundation of the community was just a really invaluable way to start Reddit.
Alexis Ohanian
Do not be scared of the incumbents.
