How to bridge the Swiss and the Silicon Valley cultures of #innovation and #entrepreneurship? As a Swiss passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship with impact, having worked with startups from Switzerland and the Silicon Valley, and being married to a Californian, I enjoy building bridges between the two (business) cultures. Expanding on Emilia Pasquier's valuable insights in her post below, here are my thoughts on how to blend the Silicon Valley and the Swiss way to get the best of both in entrepreneurship & innovation: ✅ Dream big (U.S. style), know your "why". ✅ Maximize the upside (a U.S. strength) of your venture, while minimizing your downside risk (a Swiss speciality). You might not want to scale, and that's fine. Know what success looks like for you and aim for that. ✅ Go for progress, not perfection (a challenge for us Swiss "precisionists"). Learn by doing. Iterate and continuously improve. ✅ It's important to "look before you leap", but don't succumb to analysis paralysis. Take that leap. "Don't worry, be scrappy" and start. Talk to potential customers and get feedback to gain clarity and navigate uncertainty. ✅ When making decisions, consent is faster than (very Swiss) consensus. Speed is of the essence. ✅ Know your customers, and their challenges you want to help solve, really well. Empathize. Build for them. Use Lean Innovation frameworks l, such as Lean Startup, to iteratively build-measure-learn and make sure you create sustainable, shared value. Building a great product which nobody needs won't sell and is a waste of resources. Your own and your team's time and energy to begin with. ✅ Hence, validate the desirability of your solution first, then its feasibility and viability - and of your #startup. ✅ Have a learning mindset. And don't forget to sell and market your stuff. Selling will be more effective when you deeply know the pain points you are solving. ✅ Be confident without being cocky. ✅ Make sure to get help on the journey and manage your energy, time and focus. Happy innovating with impact 🚀
