𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 for Tech Startup Founders I saw this White House note by a US Chief Data Scientist. And it sums up the mindset that tech founders need to have. • 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 • 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 • 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 • 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 Have a long-term vision with short-term goals. And aim to deliver outcomes every day. • 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟏𝐱 • 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝐱 • 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐱 Prototype for 1x means to keep trying lots of ideas. But build each prototype for 1x or just yourself. Because some will work, most won’t. Once you’ve figured out what works, build for 10x. Start scaling the idea to reach ten times the impact. Then, engineer the approach to achieve 100 times the impact. • 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 ½? • 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭? Go fast and work on the highest priority items that deliver the greatest impact.
