My response is first know what a true startup is…. Mostly we end up thinking a micro business to be a startup. Here’s is an insighting framework. Have a look and let me know if it make sense ?

Our new report 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼𝑡 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝐵𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑 𝑎 𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑛 is now available!  It offers all the facts and insights we’ve accumulated in almost a decade of research on startup companies that reach the $1 billion mark in post-money valuation and their peers that do not. It’s perhaps the most comprehensive database of metadata on unicorns and their founders you can find anywhere, compressed into a 200-page report. You can get this report for FREE if you pre-order 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑉𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑒𝑡 before the end of May (the link is in the comment section).   We started identifying and analyzing unicorns and their founders back in 2015. Today, we have more than 1,200 US-based companies in our database that were or are venture-backed unicorns.  Our goal has been to collect high-quality, detailed data on these companies and their founders and analyze the factors that enabled them to get ahead of most other startups. To achieve this goal, we also collected similarly detailed data on a matched random sample of venture-backed companies most of which did not become unicorns. Startup founders love MVPs—minimum viable products. This first edition of our report on unicorns should be viewed as an MVP, but I hope you will also find it to be an MLP—a minimum lovable product!  I would like to thank the entire team of the Venture Capital Initiative for their support and dedication over all these years. #stanford #stanfordgsb #venturecapital #startups #innovation #technology #venturemindset

Deeptech Founders: Stop Wasting Resources. Build an MVP...not a Dream. Launching a DeepTech startup involves significant risk, given the technological complexities and high stakes. Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) are essential to reducing that risk and accelerate innovation. Understanding DeepTech Challenges: An MVP allows startups to quickly validate their ideas with minimal investment. By focusing on core features, "first layer", DeepTech companies can assess feasibility, gather feedback, and make adjustments early on. This approach reduces technical uncertainties and proves the concept to investors, partners, and customers. From Concept to Reality: The MVP Bridge: Rather than building a complex product, DeepTech startups should focus on the core functionality that delivers immediate value. An MVP allows teams to test the market, iterate based on feedback, and refine their product without wasting resources on unnecessary features. Validating complex R&D on Market: With a tangible product to showcase, startups can engage with industry leaders, research institutions, and potential partners to accelerate development and market traction. MVPs serve also as a powerful tool for attracting talents. Building Confidence with investors: Investors are often hesitant to back DeepTech ventures due to the high risk involved. However, an MVP demonstrates technical capability and potential, helping startups build trust and secure funding or strategic partnerships. Need help to think and build your MVP?

If you have a startup or are planning to develop a startup, you should check out this book. You may already know that Ilya Strebulaev, a professor at Stanford and a recognized expert in venture investing, has recently published the book Venture Mindset. This book is probably the first time and so completely sheds light on the development process of unicorn companies and the decision making of the owners of these companies. Such information is rarely made public. All the more reason for its value. And the Venture Mindset book has a free supplement, which is a comprehensive database of metadata used in the preparation of the main book: tables, facts and insights.... Everything that startup owners love. The Venture Mindset book is available on #Amazon's online store. #book #venture
