You can only get startup advice from one person - who is it?

Question

Everyone has an opinion on how to build a startup, especially those who haven't done it well. I want to know the one person who you trust the most on the topic.

Ruben Wolff · Accepted Answer

I have a few quite successful entrepreneur friends. While their products can be very different from mine (corepo.org), their advice is always welcomed :)
Honestly for people who'd be tempted of answering someone like Musk (as I've seen in interviews), I don't think taking advice from billionaires is a good idea, as you can't compare their situation with yours

Veranika Vinichenka · Answer

@gleb_braverman agree, me too :)

Gleb Braverman · Answer

Elon Musk

KimSuyeon · Answer

I think the most important thing is the stories of people working in the same job!

@tyhitzeman True Ty!!!

Jaskiran Kaur · Answer

There are so many people. I wish I could take advice from Steve Jobs

Tyler Dane · Answer

@jaskiran_kaur It'd be interesting to see his take on Apple now and how things have changed

David J. Kim · Answer

Musk because of the variety of companies he's built. Tesla is way different from Paypal for example.

Jaskiran Kaur · Answer

I think Jeff Bezos will be great to get advice. Amazon has become so popular across the globe. Great Marketing strategies too.

Tyler Dane · Answer

@between_team True! Would love to hear what mental models he has that cross over

Tyler Dane · Answer

@kimsuyeon agreed! A lot of the generic advice doesn't translate well to other industries

Tyler Dane · Answer

@rubenwolff Jealous about the successful entrepreneur friends! 
Good point. Another tricky thing about copying the giants like Musk is that their approaches have evolved a lot since their startup days. What he's done now might not have worked during his early days
