Dennis Crowley Quotes

I used to snowboard 30 days a year. Now it’s down to eight Picture Quote #1

If we all went to Google right now, or went to Yelp right now, we’d all get the same results, and that seems really, really broken to me. Foursquare should understand the neighborhoods I’ve spent a lot of time in, and the restaurants that I went to once but never went back to Picture Quote #1

It’s difficult to build services that are supposed to scale to, you know, 30, 50, 100 million users right off the bat because they got to be kind of tailored down; by definition, they have to be a little bit generic to speak to that large of an audience Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really start building my own stuff until I was 24, 25 or so, and even then, I ran into a lot of resistance from, like, older folks, like my bosses at other companies or people in the industry that were like, ‘Oh that’s an interesting idea, but it will never work.’ And, I don’t know, I kind of believed everything that they told me Picture Quote #1

The best version of Foursquare is the one you don’t think about using Picture Quote #1

My buddies are like, ‘You live the most amazing life!’ Well, I’m working like a dog. I come home most nights and pass out on the couch Picture Quote #1

Build something that fixes something people are having a problem with, and you’re lined up for great things Picture Quote #1

My mindset is of the person who is still unsure whether they have enough money in their ATM to go to another bar. I lived that way when I was unemployed, when I was a snowboard instructor, and when I was at NYU. A lot of my personality is stuck in those five years, and I don’t know if that’s ever gonna change Picture Quote #1

Between the three, Facebook is literally everyone I’ve ever shaken hands with at a conference or kissed on the cheek at Easter. Twitter seems to be everyone I am entertained by or I wish to meet some day. Foursquare seems to be everyone I run into on a regular basis. All three of those social graphs are powerful in their own Picture Quote #1

Facebook is about sharing experiences that you’ve had. Foursquare is more about the present tense and the future tense Picture Quote #1

People share everything on Facebook. That can be a very good thing or a very noisy thing. With Foursquare, people know that they’re getting information specifically about a place, advice about where they are and what they could be doing. It’s a very filtered view of the world Picture Quote #1

Don’t let people tell you your ideas won’t work Picture Quote #1

Stop sketching. Start building Picture Quote #1

Stop sketching and start building Picture Quote #1

Building a product is easy. But building the company that builds the product is hard Picture Quote #1

Do what you love and the rest will come Picture Quote #1

Foursquare makes maps special. We take maps that are blank and put dots on them to help you figure out what to do Picture Quote #1

If there’s something you want to build, but the tech isn’t there yet, just find the closest possible way to make it happen Picture Quote #1

Forget about where you want to be and go out and build stuff. Dodgeball came from being bored at work... things happen because you make them happen. Stop sketching, and start building Picture Quote #1

What we’re starting to see is that the best apps tend to be the simplest, the easiest to use and the fastest to use Picture Quote #1

I learned early on not to feel badly about reaching out for help, and not to feel embarrassed about saying that youre in over your head Picture Quote #1

Build something that fixes something people are having a problem with, and you’re lined up for great things Picture Quote #1

People can copy what you’ve done, but they can’t copy what you still want to do Picture Quote #1

Don’t let people tell you your ideas won’t work. If you’re passionate about an idea that’s stuck in your head, find a way to build it so you can prove to yourself that it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1
