The common wisdom is that acquisitions have played a central role in Silicon Valley’s success, and that buying startups is one of the fastest ways for companies to embrace disruption and keep innovating.
But are these widely held beliefs actually true or just more of the many Silicon Valley myths? Are U.S. and Silicon Valley companies more acquisitive than the rest of the world and Europe in particular?
Mind the Bridge and CrunchBase have dug into CrunchBase database, to try to get some evidence of this phenomenon. As a result, a new report “Startup Transatlantic M&As. US vs EU” has been presented at the European Innovation Day conference on September 12th in Mountain View (CA

In this exciting presentation and discussion, a diverse panel of local experts will help us explore how the technological “Megashifts” of today will affect the Philadelphia of tomorrow.

I have been reading books and research studies related to the Technology world and found many thought provoking ideas that can be translated into game changers for the many industries.
Therefore, I would like to share an executive summary of a book called The Third Wave, written by Steve Case - former CEO and Chairman of AOL, with anyone whom may be interested in this subject.
The book highlights 3 main areas to develop for entrepreneurs and what they need to do differently in a Third Wave company to succeed.

What's Wrong with the Silicon Valley Growth Model (Extended UCL Lecture)Tim O'Reilly
A three part lecture for the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London. I talk about how the Silicon Valley growth model is leading from value creation to rent extraction, then about how public policy shapes our markets and what public policy students can learn from technology platforms (both what they do right and how they go wrong), and finally, I touch on some of the great mission-driven goals that could replace "increasing corporate profits" as the guiding objective of our economy.

And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.

5. The Seven Ages of the
Entrepreneur
(and what we’ve learnt along the way)
Why London is an amazing place to start a business – but you already know that
Not a good student. Always thinking about building stuff rather than learning things.
Plenty written about the mechanics of company registration and tax. Choose the right co-founder. Shared vision. Complementary. Not necessarily complimentary! Perfect founding team – commercial product person, shit hot engineer, great designer / UX person. Product business can worry about sales down the line Agree on goal – lifestyle business or $BN global company Ali and I were friends – not great friends – but close enough to give it a shot. Like a marriage – you’ll spend 5+ years together.
When to launch? What to launch? MVP is important and KISS. Launched in April 2007. Rush to the line and probably did too much. The very best products initially focus on doing one thing really well.
Bootstrapping is getting the business to the next stage, by hook or by crook Funding through savings, friends and family or credit card Some even consider angel investment to be ‘bootstrapping’ – US firm bootstrapped with $500k! Ali and I didn’t pay ourselves for over a year and borrowed money from family. Focused on early revenues. Did bespoke developments. Got to profitability. Whatever it takes so long as you don’t sacrifice the long term vision.
In 2007 we made decision Go big or go home. What does a good VC bring? Money, connections, experience. Raised our first round December that year with Eden ventures. Had to learn the VC game from scratch. Spoke with every VC informally before we kicked off the process. The dance!
You raise your first VC round. What then? Mo’ money mo’ problems Investors mean you aren’t in total control. Spend spend spend! You have to hire people to hold your baby. Only hire A players. Building culture. What we do. Genuine example above! Schwag, parties, food, drinks – make it feel like a family. Make it a place you would want to work.
In 2010 we opened our first US office. Post B round. Go bigger! VCs wanted founder(s) on the ground. Where to expand to? East coast or west coat? San Francisco or Silicon Valley? How to deal with time zones. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Distance breeds mistrust.
Distance doesn’t have to be a negative as long as you put structure in place!
Can’t really speak to this yet so no fancy background picture. Don’t build a company to be acquired. Revenue expectations of $100M for that magic $1BN valuation.
