Build a startup like you’re making a blockbuster movie 🎥
Clip from interview with Keith Rabois who has contributed to $1 trillion in #startup value incl. PayPal, LinkedIn, Square, YouTube, Airbnb, Palantir, Eventbrite, Lyft, OpenDoor, Quora... when he shares advice you listen.
You don’t produce a movie by asking consumers what movie they want to watch?
What actor and actress you should cast?
It’s the total opposite.
You have a story and a script.
You cast characters that can bring that script to life.
You produce and finance it.
You cut a trailer that interrupts people and gets them excited to buy tickets.
Building an iconic business is just like that.
You start with a vision, you get the right people on board to build it, you market it, and you sell it.
