Brilliant highlights .. I can see why Fred is like a rock star in the VC/startup world..
I particularly like:
- Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
gives me great power to push on..
"- There is a very high correlation between lean startup approach and the top performing companies in our two funds.
- Lean startup methology is great, but it is really a lean startup culture you want.
- Lean startup is a machine, garbage in will give you garbage out.
- Early in a startup, product decisions should be hunch driven. Later on, product decisions should be data driven.
- Hunches come from being a power user of the products in your category and from having a long standing obsession about the problem you are solving.
- Domain expertise to the point of obsession is highly correlated with the most successful entrepeneurs in our portfolio.
- Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
- Monetization should be native and improve the experience for users.
- If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
- If you are not technical, get product experience. Get your hands dirty and work with engineers.
- Take risks when you get out of business school. If you don't take risks, you won't find yourself in an interesting job and career."
