“Always go for competence rather than size, as the progress of a startup should be measured by outcomes of their projects rather than simply hiring more people". - Jon Shanks

“You, as the head of a firm, are responsible for the successful deployment of any service; therefore, it is important to give all the required resources to members of the various teams so you wouldn't be blamed for any failure”. - Jay Keshur
