HINEKEN’s favorite podcast series Masters of Scale by Reid Hoffman and friends sumarized the 10 strongest commendments to achieve startup success. We’d argue that 99% of this podcast treasure is valid for all companies including the largest multinationals.
Some tips;
This week I’ve spend an amazing time on the West Coast. I had the honor to visit Trillion Dollar Tech companies that are shaping the way we communicate, shop and basically live. As a souvenir our Cupertino team handed over the book below, “the Four” by Scott Galloway, an absolute must read. Do not wait too long reading this one, because there a nr of Asian unicorns, fast… Joost d’Hooghe
“For all that’s been written about the four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway.
Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the four infiltrate our lives so completely that they’re almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, can anyone challenge them?”
“Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”. Listen in on this MastersofScale podcast with Reid Hoffman on how at the scale-up of Facebook the team worked on both improvements for better user experience in the short term, as well as thinking about the future when billions of people are using the product. They had the #FINISH in mind from the start.
Within the current Facebook craze the small community approach of OUTNR.com makes more sense then ever. The global game changers network today consists of some 300 curious professionals. Instead of aiming for a 300 million plus membersbase like LinkedIn or a 1000 plus likes culture like Facebook, OUTNR.com aims to facilitate real interaction between one thousand members. The network uses the Mighty Networks platform to create a members only community, where people actively share and engage.

Startups are hot… “That was last decade. We live in a new world now, and it favors the big, not the small. The pendulum has already begun to swing back. Big businesses and executives, rather than startups and entrepreneurs, will own the next decade; today’s graduates are much more likely to work for Mark Zuckerberg than follow in his footsteps.” (more…)
Mark Scheipner – My podcast of the week is Reid Hoffmann’s interview with Mark Zuckerberg. His early decision making during times where Facebook was more of a hobby is absolutely fascinating. (more…)
