These are the startup founders, Big Tech managers, low-key investors—and even a bureaucrat— who could play a bigger role than you realize in shaping tech’s future. By Bloomberg Businessweek May 2, 2024 These aren’t the biggest names in tech, but they’re doing big things. They’re running Amazon.com Inc.’s logistics operations (Udit Madan) and building consumer-product conglomerates for the e-commerce age (Tushar Ahluwalia). They’re making artificial intelligence startups that do things that didn’t seem possible in the recent past (Demi Guo) and finding and funding the entrepreneurs and startups that you’ll be hearing from in the future (Dave Fontenot, Emily Liu and Luciana Lixandru). It’s impossible to predict what the next big thing will be, but chances are that people on this list will be involved.

Top Startup Acquirers from 2000-2024 Visual Capitalist's infographic, based on Crunchbase data, highlights the companies most actively acquiring startups from 2000 to mid-2024. The list features 15 companies that acquired over 30 startups each in under 3.5 years, with tech giants like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Cisco leading. Only four of the top acquirers are outside the U.S., while others, including Accenture and Roche, diversify beyond tech.

The article states that the answer is not that the tech giants are just better at innovating. Evidence suggests startups are more likely to produce innovations than established companies. Factors that inhibit innovation at large incumbents include: Less incentive to innovate since new sales may cannibalize existing products Engineers are less enthusiastic about stock in a large company vs. a potentially high-growth startup Managers are rewarded for incremental improvements rather than disruptive innovations"

Finding product-market-fit is genuinely difficult for most startups. It’s hard to figure out whether the market is receptive to what you’re building, and generally, you have to do a lot of groundwork before you’ve got funding. In web3 it’s doubly difficult: Not only is it that you have to find product-market-fit but there are different trends and narratives playing out while you’re trying to do this, and the industry doesn’t have a strong established identity. When you’re confronted with this situation, the best thing that you can do is build around an idea that you don’t want to give up on, for people and communities that you care about. Then it’s not about the tech — it’s about the people, and then you get product-market-fit. #web3 #tokenomics #productmarketfit
