Lectura esencial sobre Founder Mode y el error común al escalar startups.

El consejo general es: 'contratar talento que sepa manejar compañías grandes y darles espacio'.

Pero cuidado con contratar managers por encima de builders, y dejar de estar en los detalles.

It was a HUGE week in generative AI:

• Google Bard
• Adobe Firefly
• Bing Image Gen
• Github Copilot X
• ChatGPT plugins
• Generative Canva
• Roblox Generative
• Nvidia DGX Power
• Runway Text-to-video
• Microsoft’s Notion killer

Here’s what you need to know.

Some favorite survival tactics of managers who don’t actually know how to make impact:

- Need a re-org
- Must hire for a key role
- Need to fix another function
- Have a severe staffing shortage
- Organize a Strategy Summit
- Need a re-org

Can often survive for years this way.

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

More people -> more teams -> more buy-in required -> more meetings -> being persuasive rewarded more than building -> builders leave -> nothing gets done

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: https://t.co/uQRofM4q2u

Biographies of famous people often mention how they worked at night and on weekends, as if this were painful for them. But if you like what you do, nights and weekends are the best time to work. That's when you get those wonderful big blocks of time without interruptions.

The first 20 years you measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in learning to learn, un-learn and re-learn.

The second 20 years you measure success by how much money you made, only to realize that how you spend time, and with whom, is most important.

[Naval @naval]

People with “founder mentality” can’t rest once a problem or opportunity is identified.

They take on personal responsibility without complaint, learn and recruit skills as needed, and deliver results despite politics.

There is unlimited global demand for founder mentality.

Starting up is the act of doing as many jobs as possible so your company can survive. Scaling is the act of shedding as many jobs as possible so your company can survive.
