…Well, that’s how his movie Thank You for Smoking started!

David O. Sacks, founder and CEO of Yammer, Inc., a communications tool for enterprises,  took the stage this morning to kick off Startonomics - and what a start it was!

Some of the sound bites:
- In the “New Economy,” Biz Dev is dead
- Web 1.0 was about selling products
- Web 2.0 is about people, and people are more interesting than products
- APIs represent a revolution
- “Control your own destiny… Focus on value add.”
- A piece of advice for startups from hollywood: pitch your big idea in 10 words or less.”
- Focus not on making it perfect, but perfect-able.

Check out his presentation below.  Video of his presentation will be available next week.
