Max Levchin Quotes

You can’t get married to any one particular plan. That is the biggest lesson I learned at PayPal Picture Quote #1
We’re all put on Earth for a limited amount of time. Am I using in a way that is great, or good enough, or wasteful? Picture Quote #1
Ignore your mistakes. The number one thing to worry about is -Am I doing what I’m good at? Picture Quote #1
I have this massive notebook called IDEAS and another one called PERSONAL IDEAS and another one called CRAZY IDEAS Picture Quote #1
One of the things we did at PayPal was collaborative filtering and machine learning: looking at patterns of human behavior. We used it there to predict when people would try to cheat the system to get money. But you can predict pretty much any behavior with a certain amount of accuracy Picture Quote #1
Media is very different from financial services. People are very fickle and very vocal. They believe that things should be one way and not the other. It’s still very rewarding to build products for huge audiences. It feels like you’re making an impact Picture Quote #1

Having a highly homogeneous background, education, values, preferences, etc, in the very early team is better than not - cuts down on time-wasting arguments Picture Quote #1
You’re going to pull out your phone and try to use whatever is the most appropriate app on your iPhone or your Android device. Yelp saw that very early on. And when we launched the mobile product, we saw immediate growth, and we were stunned Picture Quote #1
We’re becoming slaves to our social networks - and that’s not a bad thing. You like your favorite networks, so do you friends, and pretty soon you have market winners Picture Quote #1
If you can work a brand successfully into the narrative of your product, then it’s really cool. Then people actually take the brand up and say, ‘My positive experience in your product is directly connected and influenced by this brand and that worked great Picture Quote #1
If we compare the two, Facebook is currently a superior place to market a product like Slide. Twitter is more like a general distribution agent. It’s like broadcast radio Picture Quote #1
As I was getting interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, or some big pub guy, all I remember was that he went off to the bathroom for a second, and they brought out my omelet. The next thing I remember, I woke up, and I was on the side of my own omelet, and there was no one at Buck’s. Everyone was gone. They just let me sleep Picture Quote #1

PayPal once rejected a candidate who aced all the engineering tests because for fun, the guy said that he liked to play hoops. That single sentence lost him the job Picture Quote #1
Mobile is the perfect example of what is enabling economic growth in the technology sector Picture Quote #1
The world is now awash in data and we can see consumers in a lot clearer ways Picture Quote #1
A classic engineering mistake and one I’ve made is confusing what is hard and what is valuable Picture Quote #1
Media is very different from financial services. People are very fickle and very vocal. They believe that things should be one way and not the other. It’s still very rewarding to build products for huge audiences. It feels like you’re making an impact Picture Quote #1
If the game designer produces more content than he can consume per month, some fraction of the people will say more quests, more tests, more challenges, more whatever, and they will be compelled by it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been developing mobile for years before anybody else really thought it was that important Picture Quote #1
Facebook is so ubiquitous now that it’s like another manifestation of the web itself Picture Quote #1
Being an entrepreneur is not about being in love with an idea, it’s about being in love with running a company Picture Quote #1
