How To Decide With Speed And Conviction Tomasz Tunguz "There are three different paths we can take when presented a decision. Yes, no and wait. We often view waiting as a non-decision. It's often the easiest because it seemingly doesn't require commitment. But it is a decision with a trade-off. Leaders of any size team know the organization incurs huge cost for that indecision: lost productivity. Everyone waits." 5 Epic Fails in Pitching Dave Parker "If you're the only one talking, you will never learn more than you already know. If the investor isn't asking questions, they have either lost interest or they are bored. Neither of those outcomes are good for you. Plan breaks in your pitch to have enough "space" for you to take a breath and ask for participation. If an investor knows your market, you may want to ask the question "If this was going to fail, why would it fail?" You will learn a lot from that question and it may change your strategy months or years earlier in the process." Revenge of the Algorithms (Over Data)… Go! No? Frank Chen, Steven Sinofsky, and Sonal Chokshi "So where can we then generalize the findings of such work — unsupervised learning, self-play, etc. — to other specific domains? What does it mean for entrepreneurs building companies (and what investors look for)? And what does it mean for how we, as humans, learn… or rather, how computers can also learn from how we learn?" The More You Communicate with Users, the Higher Chance You'll Build Something They Want Ryan Hoover "I'm very interested in people building products and tools and things for this new future where we're seeing more distributed teams and people working remotely. I also see voice is a really interesting space."
