Relentlessly Resourceful

Entrepreneur Paul Graham wrote an article describing his experience with startup companies in the tech world, and the qualities he looks for in a startup founder. He struggled with the concept of "not being hapless", meaning NOT being the sort of person that unfortunate things happen to on a regular basis or at critical times. Ultimately he decided that someone who is "relentlessly resourceful" is the perfect startup manager.

About startups, he says:

"you have to be resourceful. You have to have keep trying new things. Be relentlessly resourceful."

He goes on to say:

"this is the best short description we'll find of what makes a good startup founder. I doubt it could be made more precise" and "If I were running a startup, this would be the phrase I'd tape to the mirror. Make something people want is the destination, but Be relentlessly resourceful is how you get there."
