Mark Zuckerberg’s 6 Ingredients For Success

When Preetam Mukherjee started Marcellus.tv in March 2007, his company was one of the very few players in the professional online video hosting space. He believed he was building a killer product that would become a blockbuster and would compete handily with the one established player in the space, Brightcove . To ensure that he wouldn’t tip off any potential competitors, he went into “stealth mode”. Secrecy was the key to success. He would not even tell his close friends what he was building until his product was complete (after all, who can you trust these days?). Then he would send Mike Arrington an email, get a TechCrunch feature and watch fame and fortune beat a path to his door.

Stealth Startups, Get Over Yourselves: Nobody Cares About Your Secrets

- L'importance dans une startup de ne pas garder secret le concept : Dans la grande majorité des cas ca ne sert à rien de garder le secret sauf si il y a vraiment un apport en terme de technologie.
- Mais sinon le but est d'engrenger un maximum de feedback, or le feedback ne s'obtient qu'en communiquant l'idée.
- La plupart des idées sont des idées qui beaucoup ont déjà eu. Et si personne n'a la meme idée en meme temps alors c'est que probablement ce n'est pas une bonne idée. by gamification_fr Jan 16

http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/14/half-measures/

HMS : half measure syndrome. En gros, c'est tout faire dans la demi mesure. Faire des tests du produit tout en sachant qu'on ne fait pas le maximum pour se trouver une excuse si ca fail ; "c'est parce qu'on a pas fait le maximum" et ca donne une excuse pour continuer de croire que ca marchera si on fait tout le necessaire. En realité, si on ne fait pas tout le necessaire on perd surtout du temps, on perd du temps à ne pas décider; or la décision, et les résultats qui suivent sont la seule manière d'apprendre dans la démarche de la startup. by gamification_fr Jan 15
