Alexis Ohanian
It turns out the Internet is this amazing resource for everyone who has access to it.
Alexis Ohanian
I think we are a better and a more efficient society when people actually get to do the things that they really are passionate about, and really are amazing at, because it's going to mean better stuff for us, too.
Alexis Ohanian
Entrepreneur is just French for 'has ideas, does them'.
Alexis Ohanian
What one realizes there is that we are not in control of the [reddit] community, in any way, shape or form. We have no power over it and so we've lost this total control.
Alexis Ohanian
I can't begrudge anyone who opts to get a job instead of creating one for themselves.
Alexis Ohanian
It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.
Alexis Ohanian
Hundreds of these companies I've seen since the beginning stages - including Dropbox and Airbnb - one of them has actually been crushed by an incumbent. The Googles, the Twitters, the Facebooks, they might be someone to acquire you, which is not necessarily a bad position to be in.
Alexis Ohanian
Raise $500 for a thing you care about because you actually get the experience of taking an idea and actually doing it. There are fewer and fewer excuses not to.
