Daniel Ek's quotes
We handpicked Jan Koum's best inspirational quotes for you:
I'm not an inventor. I just want to make things better.
We led with our conviction rather than rationale, because rationale said it was impossible.
The value of a company is the sum of the problems you solve.
Put your consumers in focus, and listen to what they're actually saying, not what they tell you.
I was deeply uncertain of who I was and who I wanted to be. I really thought I wanted to be a much cooler guy than what I was.
I had two passions growing up - one was music, one was technology. I tried to play in a band for a while, but I was never talented enough to make it. And I started companies. One day came along and I decided to combine the two - and there was Spotify.
With Twitter and other social networking tools, you can get a lot of advice from great people. I learn more from Twitter than any survey or discussion with a big company.
