Leadership lessons from 73
CEOs
Everyone is capable of
leading, in their own way
There are past patterns
Go into every situation with
an open mind
Invest in integrity and smarts
Align people to objectives,
but allow latitude for
personal frameworks
Lessons from 23 AI startups
Two games you need to play:
Specific data/specific
customer fit
Data gathering/customer
benefit loop
Vertical vs. Horizontal
Theoretically more money is
necessary
Exits: acquisitions, rather
than IPOs
