not particularly, a startup isn't a conventional corner shop. a startup is by definition a kind of business that can scale exponentially without having to invest in prerequisites for this growth. e.g: a restaurant will have to double everything, space, staff, material, etc to be able to accommodate 2x customers. tech-based startups can handle 1 million times users at a fraction of the cost.

​@@udishomer5852 The more I'm impressed with people who openly share on their startup shortcomings and failures (also mentioned in the video). First there is as much, if not more, to learn from these cases plus constantly only talking about success causes a terrible bias. It's similar to investment companies bragging about 3% of their portfolio that is the most successful on their home page - a distorted and dishonest vision of reality (even if other folks don't do it knowingly). Wrt not taking investors money- lets face it, it takes balls - one to refuse and second to work on near-zero resource while being late with rent running on pure hope as fuel wrt a project you know is more likely to fail than succeed (dopamine to rescue :) ). I can imagine Indie Hackers / Digital nomads going through some very tough times in the beginning and having to early let go of their beloved projects when it does not work (a fantastic entrepreneurial but counter-to-evolutionary trait). There's a fantastic testimony on that from Pieter Levels in a Lex Fridman podcast: lexfridman.com/pieter-levels/

There’s nothing weird in not being a startup but successfull at the same time. A lot of companies are doing right that. What you didn’t mention in your - really interesting - video is what a startup is: A company founded with the purpose of growing fast using other peoples’ money, being public listed and then sold. On the other hand, there are bootstrapped companies (that’s what you call “anti-startup”). Companies where the founders take their own money, grow slowly and that’s it. For an less obvious example in tech see Aha!

Blitz-scaling is only a functional business model in a lax regulatory environment since its business model requires reaching a point where it can leverage its monopoly status once it dominates the sector. The increased scrutiny on tech mergers over the last couple years have made the business model infeasible like it was prior to the deregulation boom of the last few decades.
@theondono
@theondono 2 ай бұрын
​@@JohnSmith-sk7cg What "deregulation boom"? The point of blitzscaling is that you're supposed to use it in markets that have a natural tendency towards monopoly (Network Effects, Reinforcing loops,...). There are a limited number of markets that satisfy this properties, and for a while VCs have tried to sell us that adding an app to any market magically gives it those properties, which is weapons grade BS. Because in contrast to what lots of people think, VCs aren't into tech, lots of them are in fact quite tech illiterate. They are into Hype. You buy cheap companies with good stories, get them a make over, hype them to oblivion and find a way to exit on a profit. This exit used to be an IPO, over the last years it has been a SPAC, and we'll see if they're able to develop any new financial "tech" or they will be finally recognized as what they are, legalized pump and dumps.

It has a lot to do with the fact that modern web development is much easier in general, at least if you're an experienced developer. There are abstractions for almost everything these days that just 10 years ago you would have had to code yourself. Also there is much more accessible data everywhere, often through api's, that simply didn't exist in the past. I'm currently building an innovative meta search engine completely on my own (no AI) and I had this idea forever, but the tech simply wasn't available. Now that the tech is available I can finally build it, without needing years and huge investments. I simply need a few months to launch the mvp. For example the last missing piece of tech that I needed, was fast accessible data of a specific branch and there was an API launched a few months back which gives me this data, exactly as I need it.

The terrible trend of venture capital has been driven by the insane growth of wealth inequality. There are a ton of people who have way too much money, and that money is trying to find returns, which leads to big bets/risk. When people have limited resources, they limit risk and bootstrap. In other words, talent and hard work build companies. With VC, capital is trying to build companies.

Getting investments can be a good strategic decision in some cases If you have a bakery, selling cookies and people waiting hours in the line to buy it; getting external investment and having an extra oven would improve the business But the way I see the current climate is every bakery get investment to buy the shiniest equipment before even seeing the demand. It just become a must PS: I think Andrew Wilkinson gave this bakery example and it stuck in my mind.

Nnnnope. Investors got rich because they made a lot of money. You can make money by creating problems too. But they did it by having a lot to invest in the first place (from rich daddy, most of the time). Amazon makes money by increasing the number of people peeing in bottles and dieing of exhaustion. Bezos' parents gave him money to start it. Tesla makes money of selling "carbon credits" to other car manufacturers, which is essentially a "pollution pass" which allows Musk to advertise Solarcity to wash his image. Elon's father gave him money to start (his first revolutionary product was - yellow pages, but online. No one uses it, but it made him a fortune). Microsoft earned it's money by monopolising the early OS scene, which allows them to still control it with very inferior products. Bill Gates also stole the idea from HP. Etc etc. The people who are solving problems (and working honestly) aren't rich - they are doctors, scientists, handymen, plumbers, cleaners, people in the service sector, etc. They solve problems, but they don't get rich. Because actual work cannot make you rich.

Story of Gumroad is a HUGE W. Hats off to Sahil for choosing to maintain an profitable business even if it's medium or small sized as infinite growth is unsustainable as it's forced by the shareholders in our current late-stage capiliatist world.

instead of investors you setup an employee-owned company. The employees themselves can decide to put in some money or not. You can also use crowd funding for individual products. Then you have a motivated team that produces a lot. No more stock market drama, and no more lazy investors who dont want to work.

Problem is employees want an income. They arent going to give you money to work for you. I get what youre saying but its just not feasible to set this up. It also only works for the founding employees. New staff coming in will either cause drama when it comes to profit sharing or be cut out of the deal.

​@@rumble1925Employee-owned enterprises and cooperatives exist and run like this everyday. They're actually more effective than traditional companies in terms of surviving recessions or workplace satisfaction. The disadvantage is that they hire selectively and with a long probation period (because a new employee gets an equal share of the business and vote in affairs). But once hired, they retain employees for far longer than usual.

@@MechaOrangeStudios yeah i know about it and it was something i considered when i set up my company. The reality is that its not as simple as it sounds. And good luck finding employees willing to share any of the risk, they want a salary. Youre basically hunting for business partners, those are usually people you know and trust, not someone you find from a job ad.

Hi Enrico ...nice video... could you make a video on the denial of the exit plan... I mean...why is the logout button in many of these social media platforms, OOT apps, other apps,....so hidden...and even if you can track it down...they give you offers like to pause the usage and return back after a few months or years...why are they not letting you exit their systems....I can see the same attitude towards the consumer/ user in super markets, modern cloverleaf infested highways....its like Hotel California...you enter but you can never leave...

I wonder if it's legal to clone craigslist's ads, in order to break through the network effect barrier to entry lol. A: Craigslist's Terms of Use specifically prohibit scraping and copying content from its website. Violating this could lead to civil litigation from Craigslist, as they have historically been active in enforcing their rights. For example, Craigslist has filed lawsuits against companies and individuals who violated its terms through scraping or unauthorized use of its content.

It's refreshing to hear about alternatives to the prevalent Tech bro culture. This culture can be incredibly destructive, as it's built on the premise that money is the only goal, with no other mission, no social responsibility. It often causes chaos and externalizes costs to society, which companies like Facebook, Twitter and now AI exemplify.

Randomly stumbled across this video. I think i understood what was said, but it just doesn't resonate with me in the slightest. I'm excruciatingly bad at business because i just, for the life of me, can't understand who the fuck would pay and use an "AI Assistant for writing stuff, lists etc" or generic image generator, or "AI Interior house design" and all these things. I cannot comprehend paying for these things, and if i understand it correctly, it's a "service" == subscription == recurring payment. All of these are things for the western world, where they have money to throw on garbage and do on a daily basis without a second thought, where people budget 50% of their revenue on services. Born and lived in the old block for my entire life, my mindset is far too rigid for thinking of these things and people in these parts would laugh in your face if you ask them to pay for these.

those numbers in bio seemed fishy to me too. those ai "services" only blowed up after chatgpt released, as if there is no ai existed before it. there is no possibility in world such interior design ai (another chatgpt frontend) can make that money, there is simply not much small customers for that, and big customers rather pay actual people with actual designing knowledge. this can be new "learn coding and make six figures a year using our bootcamp" thingy. "make your own chatgpt frontend, call it ai service and make five figures a month" seems marketable enough
