This week, Bob and Pat talk with Bjoern Herrmann and Max Marmer of the Startup Genome Project, an ambitious effort to define which factors most indicate success for a startup.
Based on 650 – and now 2,700+ – study responses, there’s some remarkable observations – not hard and fast edicts – to be mulled over.
Here’s one tidbit – defining your startup as B2C or B2B is no longer a useful distinction: a much more useful question is are you building an Automator, Social Transformer, Integrator or Challenger?
Tired of being stuck in neutral in your startup? Why not do a MicroConsult with Bob Walsh? Instead of hypotheticals and too much information, Bob will work with you for an hour via Skype developing 8 to 10 specific todos that will get your startup in gear. Details at 47hats.com.
