🤔 What the F is an MVP? 🎙️ Crazy good podcast by Chris Saad & 🤖 Yaniv Bernstein! For anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset, whether it’s in a huge company or a brand-new startup, it is necessary to grasp the Minimum Viable Product concept. Thank me later! 😊 Within the episode, there is an analogy: 🚗 “The problem you may be defining is getting from A to B. In your mind, you’ve designed a Ferrari—that’s the coolest, best, and fastest way to get from A to B. But the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of getting from A to B is not four Ferrari wheels. The MVP of getting from A to B is a scooter! A PUSH POWERED SCOOTER!” (He might not be screaming, but I got a little excited.) 🚀 "Ideas are cheap, but execution is where the magic happens. Listen as they talk about what it means to execute successfully as an early-stage startup." Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dGi88JzG https://www.tsp.show/ Interested?

I really enjoyed this “Invest Like the Best” podcast conversation about the different perspectives of Founders vs Investors. Unsurprisingly, they don’t agree on everything, but it’s great to see them appreciate each other’s viewpoint. Since we work with a lot of investor-funded startups, I see both sides, and having both perspectives in balance is valuable for any successful company, not just those with outside investors. https://lnkd.in/ep4v6GvU

How do you stop your competitors imitating you?   There was an interesting podcast episode last month with an investor and founder, Elizabeth Zalman and Jerry Neumann, discussing their new book on the relationship between VCs and entrepreneurs. In particular, they highlighted how innovative start-ups should create competitive advantages, or moats, to generate a competitive edge and how the founder and investor can work together by identifying how to build these advantages. At some point it will be right for your start-up to start creating these moats and you’ll need to do it before you become successful, because once you become successful - people will just copy you. Whether it’s a patent, a trade secret, know-how, branding, a platform, interconnected products or a disruptive technology, you should be thinking from the start about what your strategy is to create these moats so you can ensure that you have a competitive advantage over your competitors. #founders #investors #competitiveadvantage #startup #intellectualproperty https://lnkd.in/dT_YGkrT
