如何成為持久發(fā)展的公司
Elements of Enduring Companies
一家創(chuàng)業(yè)公司如何成為持久發(fā)展的公司,它需要具備這些條件:
Startups with these characteristics have the best chance of becoming enduring companies. We like to partner with startups that have:
目標(biāo)清晰:在名片背面概述公司的業(yè)務(wù)胰耗。
Clarity of purpose: Summarize the company’s business on the back of a business card.
市場(chǎng)巨大:保證現(xiàn)有市場(chǎng)做好面對(duì)快速增長(zhǎng)或變化的準(zhǔn)備侥蒙。 一個(gè)在十億美元潛在利潤(rùn)道路上前進(jìn)的市場(chǎng)慌核,應(yīng)有一些容錯(cuò)空間和回報(bào)時(shí)間去發(fā)展真實(shí)利潤(rùn)谈跛。
Large markets :Address existing markets poised for rapid growth or change. A market on the path to a $1B potential allows for error and time for real margins to develop.
富有的客戶:瞄準(zhǔn)會(huì)迅速購(gòu)買并會(huì)為獨(dú)特產(chǎn)品支付溢價(jià)的客戶蜕猫。
Rich customers: Target customers who will move fast and pay a premium for a unique offering.
聚焦:聚焦那些只購(gòu)買具有突出價(jià)值主張的普通產(chǎn)品的客戶箫措。
Focus: Customers will only buy a simple product with a singular value proposition.
解決痛點(diǎn):選擇一個(gè)對(duì)客戶極其重要的東西腹备,然后投其所好,為他們提供有力的解決方案斤蔓。
Pain killers: Pick the one thing that is of burning importance to the customer, then delight them with a compelling solution.
不同凡想:不斷挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)智慧植酥;采取逆向路線;創(chuàng)建新穎的解決方案弦牡;智勝對(duì)手友驮。
Think differently: Constantly challenge conventional wisdom. Take the contrarian route. Create novel solutions. Outwit the competition.
團(tuán)隊(duì)DNA:公司的DNA在最初的90天設(shè)置。所有團(tuán)隊(duì)成員都是他們領(lǐng)域最聰明或最機(jī)智的人 —— 一流創(chuàng)始人吸引一流團(tuán)隊(duì)驾锰。
Team DNA: A company’s DNA is set in the first 90 days. All team members are the smartest or most clever in their domain. “A” level founders attract an “A” level team.
敏捷:不事聲張地快速行動(dòng)通常有助于擊敗大公司卸留。
Agility: Stealth and speed will usually help beat large companies.
節(jié)儉:把資金集中在至關(guān)重要的事務(wù)上。只在優(yōu)先項(xiàng)上花費(fèi)并將利潤(rùn)最大化椭豫。
Frugality: Focus spending on what’s critical. Spend only on the priorities and maximize profitability.
星星之火可以燎原:一個(gè)以少量資金起家的公司耻瑟,必須強(qiáng)調(diào)規(guī)范和重點(diǎn)。然而赏酥,對(duì)于一個(gè)客戶們都如饑似渴地呼喚由偉大工程師開(kāi)發(fā)的產(chǎn)品的巨大市場(chǎng)喳整,只需要很小的火力便能將其點(diǎn)燃。
Inferno: Start with only a little money. It forces discipline and focus. A huge market with customers yearning for a product developed by great engineers requires very little firepower.
