- How he began by modeling other similar industries and their success.
- Why he chose to join a pricey mastermind before masterminds were ‘trendy.’
“I intuitively knew that I would stagnate if I didn’t surround myself with people that were smarter than me. I’m a big fan of watching and learning, and absorb things like a sponge…I wanted to feel like an insider. Peel back the layers of the onion. And you’ve got to pay to play”. Nitin Chhoda
How to identify “Unicorn Developers.”
“The right developer in Software is like a Unicorn. Not only because of the way they code but because of the way they think. One unicorn is better than having five average developers. They are four moves ahead”. Nitin Chhoda
- Where to look online for a great developer, and the use of pre-qualifying projects in his hiring approach (Please note, oDesk is now Upwork).

“If you adopt a less common language, you’re more likely to succeed because there’s a higher barrier to entry.” Nitin Chhoda

- The difference between a copycat idea and something worth developing.
“At the end of the day, this comes down to how many users you have and how fast you can scale.”Nitin Chhoda
