Show #117: Bjoern Herrmann, Max Marmer and Startup Genome Project

Bjoern Herrmann

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.
