MERITOCRACY

Being a prince opens doors. But keeping them open requires performance. Markets don't care about your title — they care about your returns.

I started at ABC making $150 a week. Every job I've had was earned, not given.

Y Combinator taught us that great products win, regardless of where you're from.

Meritocracy is not comfortable. The best people thrive and the rest move on. That is how you build a great organization.

The best person for the job should run the company. Not the founder's son.

Wall Street is not a meritocracy. But the market is. The market doesn't care who you are.

Meritocracy means that the best people rise, regardless of where they came from. That is the culture we try to build everywhere we operate.
