Netflix was able to unseat then-industry leader Blockbuster because of its ability to execute fast, cheap, and "weird" experiments to test and validate business assumptions. This work ultimately enabled Netflix to address unmet customer demands and market opportunities quickly. Behind every innovation, like the launch of Netflix, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of assumptions that must be tested. So, how can those building startups determine whether or not their hypotheses are correct? High Alpha Innovation Build Associate Julia Tofan shares five proven ways to pressure-test assumptions during the venture-building process: https://lnkd.in/giEDptCh #VentureBuilding #Startups #Entrepreneurship

𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥.𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘 ⤵ In the realm of startups, a tale unfolds, Of founders driven by dreams and passions bold, Their companies grow, with each step they take, Yet scaling poses challenges to make. Advice abounds from every side, But many founders find it doesn't apply, The wisdom shared is for managers' ways, Not suited for those who started the craze. Founder mode, a mystery untold, A way of leading that's unique and bold, It breaks the mold of conventional norms, And finds success in ways that others scorn. In Brian Chesky's talk, a truth was told, That manager mode can leave companies cold, He studied Steve Jobs' approach to lead, And found a new path for Airbnb to feed. The YC event, where founders gathered near, Shared tales of struggles and hopes held dear, For they felt gaslit by those who gave advice, And doubted their instincts with every stride. Yet still they pressed on, seeking a way, To run their companies in a brighter day, With direct touch and open hearts they led, Their teams thriving under their guiding thread. In founder mode, the CEO's role is vast, A leader's touch that spans across the mast, Skip-level meetings, retreats of 100 minds, An annual tradition that leaves no one behind. It breaks the rules, yet finds success anew, Founder mode, a mystery we're just beginning to pursue, Once understood, it will change the game forevermore, And startups worldwide will find their path restored. ⇄ REPOST ⇄ 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘴: 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘶𝘭 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘮
Excited to be part of Netflix's new Founder Mode series Inspired by Y Combinator founder Paul Graham's recent viral post #tech #foundermode #startups

Back in 1999, Netflix’s website was far from what it is today. It’s a reminder that no product starts out flawless. Through consistent product development, customer feedback, and data-driven iteration, it evolved into the giant we know now. Don’t fall into the perfection trap—focus on launching, getting real-world feedback, and refining along the way. Execution beats waiting for the perfect moment. Your product will grow stronger with time and effort. Follow me for more such insights! #Netflix #Website #NetflixAndChill #startup #Execution #ProductDevelopment #innovation #discipline #perseverance #consistency #persistence #entrepreneurship #strategy
