Profiles aren't journalism.
Fred Wilson
Early in a startup, product decisions should be hunch driven. Later on, product decisions should be data driven.

My venture investing career has three phases, all roughly 6-8 years long. The first, at Euclid, was software to Internet. The second, at Flatiron, was Internet to bubble. And the third, at USV, has been web 2 to mobile. I have always used a new firm to denote a new investment phase for me. Throw away the old. Start with the new.

Being an entrepreneur is hard. Having supportive and caring investors helps.

I think 'crazy' is a compliment. I think you make money with people who are crazy.

I don't like to talk about myself. I like to talk about stuff that's happening, stuff that's going to happen, and the people who are going to make it happen.
Fred Wilson
I use beauty as a way of helping people to receive difficult or upsetting ideas. The topical issues are merely a vehicle for making one aware of one's own perceptual shift-which is the real thrill.
Fred Wilson
I believe the mobile OS market will play out very similarly to Windows and Macintosh, with Android in the role of Windows. And so if you want to be in front of the largest number of users, you need to be on Android.
Fred Wilson
Given New York City's cultural diversity, it has always attracted creative people.
Fred Wilson
I would like to reiterate that I don't want any profiles of me. I am not newsworthy.
Fred Wilson
If you want to create something great and do it faster than the competition, you need to be action oriented.
Fred Wilson
Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
Fred Wilson
Foursquare's adoption of a game dynamic when it launched is a particularly clever implementation of a social hook.
Fred Wilson
I generally blog between 5:30 A.M. and 7 A.M. I will from time to time add something during the day, but for the most part blogging is an early morning activity for me.
