| | Anu Hariharan This lesson is reminiscent of Amazon's move to cannibalize its own book sales with an e-reader / e-books (foreseeing the trend toward digital content) and Uber's move from town cars to UberX. If you don't create a culture of disrupting yourself, then a competitor is likely to disrupt you. | | Hunter Walk For seed investors, overfocusing on TAM (total addressable market) can be a trap. It causes founders to think that displaying a generic sizable dollar stat ("$150 billion is spent on Education annually") is sufficient versus really spending time understanding important characteristics about the problem they're solving. | | Alex Iskold "Funnels are essentially inverted pyramids that are divided into stages. The objective is to move through the funnel from top to bottom, while trying to lose as little as possible in each stage." | | Clement Vouillon "Growing your revenue fast is great but the majority of people in the SaaS industry knows that high churn and lack of account expansion can kill even the fastest growing companies. If you grow fast but don't manage to keep your customers it'll be extremely complicated to scale." | Join the Techstars Team Today! Current opening for a Managing Director in the Philadelphia area  Techstars is excited to announce Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator, powered by Techstars. The accelerator is an essential cornerstone of Comcast NBCUniversal’s LIFT Labs for Entrepreneurs program and will be based out of LIFT Labs PHL, located in the new Comcast Technology Center in Philadelphia when it opens in early 2018.
We are looking for a Managing Director to lead this program. You’ll be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the program and execute against it, and will be involved in every aspect of what makes Techstars great. MDs have the support coming from all functions of the organization, but without their leadership, the program cannot make good companies into great ones.
