STARTUP BELL’s Post

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.

Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings on how to communicate and manage people in business👇 Hastings breaks the myth that companies aren’t like families. In reality, building a winning team requires top talent, collaboration, and a commitment to performance. Just like a championship sports team, everyone fights for their position, pushes each other to excel, and plays at the highest level. “You need great teammates to make incredible plays. That’s when work becomes an art.” #ReedHastings #Netflix #Leadership #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #business #startup #startups #startuplife #startupmindset #businesstips

Watched the "Moviepass: Movie Crash" documentary on Netflix last night. Very interesting and a must-watch for entrepreneurs. It shares the story of MoviePass and its spectacular rise and equally spectacular fall, thanks to outside investors who wrested control of the firm from co-founders Stacy Spikes and Hamet Watt and burned through cash at an unimaginable rate. If you're curious, the new MoviePass is profitable and is headed by the OG founder, Stacy Spikes. I'm a member. :-) #moviepass #startups #netflix MoviePass

My advice for picking a #startup to join: Work with brilliant people on an idea you are proud of. Even if you fail, you will be telling the story for the rest of your life. Make sure that story will be awesome. (inspired by Deedy Das)

My best advice when you’re launching something new? Don’t be afraid of negative feedback. Controversy is a GOOD thing. Listen to the latest episode of The Adam Jackson Show where I share my playbook for launching products that matter; link in the comments below. #startup #advice #braintrustAIR

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

Starting a company is tough. Mistakes are inevitable! Just watched an insightful talk by Mark Zuckerburg on starting a company. Key takeaways: ↳ Learn quickly from mistakes. ↳ Don't give up. ↳ Every year brings big challenges. ↳ Stay resilient, push through obstacles. This video really hit home. It reminds me of the early days when every setback felt huge. But we learned and kept going, didn't we? What has been your biggest lesson in overcoming challenges? #startups #growth

Looking to level up your entrepreneurial game? "Big Timber" on Netflix is a must-watch. It showcases the importance of strong leadership, quick decision-making, and adaptability in the face of unexpected challenges. #startup #entrepreneur #business #netflix

Ever wondered how a simple "NO" can change the course of #business history? 🤔 Here's a mind-blowing story that'll make you rethink rejection: In 2000, #Netflix proposed a partnership with Blockbuster, offering a 49% stake for just $50 million. Blockbuster declined. Fast forward to 2025, Blockbuster is defunct, while Netflix is now worth over $400 billion. From this story, I could learn a few key points: 1- #Innovation isn't just nice-to-have, it's crucial for survival 2- Sometimes, your biggest threat isn't your current competitor, but a future one (I personally love this one) 3- Adaptability can make or break a business This story will always remind me that in business, it's not just about where you are, but where you're heading. What's your take? Have you ever passed on an #opportunity that you later regretted? Or made a bold move that paid off big time? #businesslessons #startup #businesshistory #entrepreneurship #distruption
