The document provides a guide for starting a startup. Some key points include:
- Focus on practical and counterintuitive ideas in large addressable markets. Successful startups often began as hobbies.
- Compress your working life into 4 intense years of high productivity and risk, deferring compensation for potential high rewards.
- Find a co-founder who is determined and willing to do any job required without needing management.
- Keep products simple and test ideas directly with customers through early releases and marketing. Simplify until only essential features remain.
- Raise funding through an auction process by knowing the market opportunity and being introduced by prior investors. Valuation is temporary but control is permanent.

How NOT to Run Your Company – Lessons LearnedWeekdone.com
The Internet is full of articles on „How to succeed“ and „How to build a great company“ But while following those guidelines we often forget that there's a lot you just can't do.
Learning from your own mistakes is good, but it's even better when you can learn from the mistakes of others.
Everyone's favorite billionaire and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.”
Enjoy the slides and a sense of humor is advised.
Like double edged swords, blind dates, and nuclear power plants, either a PowerPoint presentation can go really well and make you look totally awesome or it can completely suck and be the scourge of your existence. If you’re a savvy panda you’re no doubt aware that there are certain flaws in presentation design which can wreck an otherwise perfectly good slide presentation.
In case you’re well-versed in the do’s of presentation design but need some reinforcement about the don’ts to make sure you don’t screw up an otherwise perfect presentation, here are FIVE PRESENTATION DESIGN TIPS to remember the next time you create a presentation.

30 Awesome Quotes To Inspire Your Next Big Customer Loyalty InitiativeAlex Andrade-Walz
In honor of International Customer Loyalty Month (April), here are 30 great quotes from thought leaders in the customer-first movement to inspire your next big customer loyalty strategy.
“Many people would be better off if they did less and reflected more.” — Manfred Kets de Vries, INSEAD Distinguished Professor of Leadership Development & Organisational Change
Despite making technological advances to speed up our work, we somehow find ourselves working more—not less. The busy lifestyle may deceptively make us feel productive and accomplished. But research has finally exposed the tolls of avoiding free time: depression, sleep deprivation, relationship breakdown and poor quality of work, to name a few. Doing nothing may sound like a waste of time, but it's one of the secrets to keeping your brain in top shape.

10 Classic Growth Hacks: Hints at the Future of MarketingRyan Holiday
Adapted from "Growth Hacker Marketing: A Primer on the Future of PR, Marketing, and Advertising" by Ryan Holiday.
http://www.amazon.com/Growth-Hacker-Marketing-Primer-Advertising/dp/1591847389/ryanholnet-20
"Everything you thought you knew about marketing is obsolete.
We can see the incontrovertible evidence right in front of us. A new generation of multibillion dollar brands—Facebook, Twitter, AirBnb, Evernote, and countless others—have been built without spending a dime on traditional marketing techniques. No press releases, no PR firm, no Madison Avenue, no billboards in Times Square.
It wasn’t luck that took them from tiny start-ups to massive success. They have a new strategy. It’s called Growth Hacking. And it works.
A Growth Hacker is someone who rejects what “marketing” is supposed to be and replaces it only with tools that are testable, trackable, and scalable. Growth Hackers rely on inexpensive tactics like e-mail, pay-per-click ads, blogs, and platform APIs. They chase real results in a field that was dominated by gut instincts for nearly a century. They reject the traditional marketing worship of all things big: big budgets, big campaigns, big opening weekends. Instead, they embrace the opposite: taking a start-up from nothing to something, launching a Kickstarter project, building something that truly spreads.
Growth Hacker Marketing offers both a new mindset and a new set of rules. Bestselling author Ryan Holiday, the former director of marketing for American Apparel, will convince you of the urgency of this awakening. He shows why the game has changed forever and what to do about it—whether you are an aspiring marketer, an entrepreneur, or a Fortune 500 senior executive."

We all know the concept of the elevator pitch, where you pitch your idea between two floors in an elevator.
Visual + words are even more powerful together and that is the essence of this talk given at CIID Open Lecture.
It is all about how you explain your ideas better , how to make sure people remember them and how to gain shared knowledge faster and more efficient.
...And that is by drawing simple pictures to visualise your ideas.

Startup Secrets - Getting Behind the Perfect Investor PitchMichael Skok
These days the pitch to a VC displaces the old business plan because most investors simply don’t have time to read a full business plan, and most entrepreneurs don’t have time to write one. That said, the business strategy still serves as the foundation for any presentation you create.

A STORY OF FAILURE - INSIGHTS FROM A START-UP & WHY THEY MATTER IN AN ENTERPR...Lean Kanban Central Europe
Maybe you are thinking to do the start-up thing yourself – hear what didn't work and how not to do it
Maybe you just like a good story – and bad news are always the juicier news than good news ;)
Be there for a first (and probably one of) - haven't told it before, might not tell it again
In order to become an agile company, I'm convinced we need a culture that welcomes failure (quick & cheap ones). Let's all take a first step in that direction
Because the time is just about right – two years after the fact, it feels ok to share a candid look back
Because a colleague pointed me to a very interesting TED talk about the power of vulnerability

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

1. A Quick and Dirty Guide
to Starting Up
Venture Hacks
Oct 2 2008
venturehacks.com
2. “We are faced with insurmountable opportunities”
- POGO
3. “It's never been done before”
We are lucky to live in this place, in this time. Silicon Valley is the closest
thing to a meritocracy. It's never been done before is a compliment, not a
put-down.
4. Some Principles
• Focus on counter-intuitive and practical
• Ignore outliers - be successful despite luck
• Web focused, but generally applicable
• Start at the beginning
Going to focus on the counter-intuitive and the practical.
Ignore the stories. Ignore the outliers. We want you to be as close to 100%
successful as possible.
My experience is in the web but many of these principles should apply in any
industry.
I'll start at the beginning - those of you already past the initial phase, bear
with me.
7. Tradeoffs
• Compress Forty years into Four
• Deferred compensation, higher risk
• Non-linear, lumpy payments
• If you’re not working, the competition is
• Ventures often fail; entrepreneurs don’t
Do you actually want to start a startup? What it amounts to, economically, is
compressing your working life into the smallest possible space. Instead of
working at an ordinary rate for 40 years, you work like hell for four.
In a startup, you're many times more productive, work much harder, defer
compensation, take risk, and get paid nonlinearly. Probably not worth doing
unless you're willing to do another one if this one fails. You can't land on the
moon with one shot.
During this time you'll do little but work, because when you're not working,
your competitors will be.
8. “The price of being a wolf is loneliness; the price
of being a sheep is boredom. Choose one or the
other with great care”
- HUGH MACLEOD
The best reason is self-discovery and self confidence. You will learn to follow
your heart.
10. IDEA
INTELLIGENCE
CONNECTIONS
EXPERIENCE
DETERMINATION
You can get anything that you want out of life, if you want it badly enough.
Must love what you do because it's all about determination.
11. Hard Choices
• Quit the day job
• Make public
commitments
• Get a partner
Quit your day job. There are no great part-timers. Those are apocryphal. and
it causes IP issues if you have a day job. Remember, determination wins.
Motivate yourself - publicly commit yourself.
12. 1: PICK AN IDEA
MARKET
The idea doesn't matter - the market is what matters.
14. The Market
• Pick the biggest possible addressable
market
• Learn everything about it
• Ideas, and therefore NDAs, are worthless
• No niches
• Gmail: “Mail that doesn’t suck”
• Most successes were hobbies or different
businesses
Pick an idea - just a placeholder. A stake in the ground. You're going to
iterate out from here.
If the space requires specific knowledge, go work in that field for a while.
Autos are big, but only auto parts are accessible by you.
Keynesian beauty contest. Biggest risk for angel is downstream financing.
Changed ideas - MS, Youtube, Paypal.
Started as hobbies - Google, Yahoo!, HotorNot, etc.
16. “...as in all matters of the heart, don't settle”
- STEVE JOBS
17. A Founder...
• Works before the money is available
• Will do ANY job
• Won’t give up
• Doesn’t need to be managed
• Intelligence; Drive; Integrity
• Vests!
18. Your Co-Founder...
• Someone you already know
• Just two people
• Split the equity
• Complementary - one for sales /
marketing, one for product / tech
• Domain expertise is overrated
• Biggest failure mode
If you're starting a tech company, be technical. Or have someone you really
trust who is technical do the hiring for you.
20. “If you are facing in the right direction, keep
walking”
- BUDDHA
21. Traps
LEGAL ADVICE

Cheapness - Peter Thiel CEO criteria
23. Competition
• Best to ignore them
• Don’t do what they can’t do - do what they
won’t do
• “Why won’t X just do this and crush you?”
• Good indicator that you are in a big market
26. Testing
• Markets are relatively efficient - so you are
likely wrong at first pass
• Buy ads against non-existent products
• “Coming soon”
• Talk to the customers directly
• Ship immediately and often
27. Product / Market Fit
• Simplify, simplify, simplify
• Beware tacit knowledge
• Trade technology for simplicity (iPod,
Google, remotes, HoN)
• Single-purpose (no citrus)
• Innovator’s dilemma - go for the low end
Simplify - cut words out of your slogans and your marketing messages.
Remove features. Make the product trivial to use. Attention to detail is for
intuition, and to make it easier to use, not harder. iPod speaker, iPod
headphones, iPod wheel. Apple remote. Samsung TV remote.
In technology, you always shoot for the low end - easier and cheaper - since
you can always add features later, but companies can't simplify or remove
cost structures (Just saved you having to read the innovator's dilemma).
28. “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing
more to add, but rather when there is nothing
more to take away”

Reason most artists don’t have two hits is because they aren’t willing to start
over from scratch.
