Thanks to that, we can develop a sense of what's achievable with the limited resources of a company at stage." | | Benedict Evans, Frank Chen, and Kyle Russell "The "platformification" of apps available on the Apple operating system (they've turned maps into a platform before even Google has); the "widgetification" of everything (using familiar interfaces to ensure continuity across different contexts); and the AI-ification of everyday services (like recognizing faces in photos and predicting, um, emoji)." | | Accel Partners "Rethink sales and business development to allow for scalable distribution and positive margins. Rather than simply building traditional direct sales models using traditional tactics, CEOs and sales leaders need to build efficient engines that optimize for lower ASPs." | | Tony Xu "You should look at what you're doing in your free time. If you're doing things for free or voluntarily without any pressure or incentive, I think that's a very good tell for what you gravitate toward." | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
