Disruptive Startups That Don't Get Funded Coca-Cola (KO) sells millions of bottles of its fizzy sugar water in the poorest villages of the world at 15¢ to 25¢ per bottle—prices locals can barely afford. What would happen to the multinational’s business if a well-funded Chinese soft drink startup decided to crash that market with a sweet but relatively nutritious beverage it sold for 5¢ a bottle? Coke would most likely get crushed. That’s the example Paul Polak uses in his April TED talk to underscore the possibilities he sees for disruptive, massively scalable for-profit businesses serving those who have the least. Polak, who has spoken to more than 3,000 poor people during his years traveling the world, believes that innovation serving the bottom of the pyramid will not only improve their lives but also increase competition at the top. These incursions that initially serve the poor and later end up serving the rich could be hugely disruptive market forces.
Paylib Wallaby Financial Kwixo » Mary Meeker: More Data, More Mobile (and SoLoMo) Home » Mobile In the realm of mobile analyst geekdom, Christmas comes every time Mary Meeker shows up somewhere with her now infamous data dumps (last one here). The latest was today’s presentation to Google’s ThinkMobile conference — one of her first appearances since leaving her longtime post at Morgan Stanley to try her hand at venture capital with Kleiner Perkins. As she normally has a knack for putting things into perspective, the long presentation’s highlights included comparisons to smartphones, tablets, and previous top-selling electronic or mobile devices. In this case, the comparison was iPhone, iPad and iPod sales, during their respective first three quarters of availability. This has a lot of implications for the growth of connected mobile devices, including the content and ad delivery opportunities espoused on this blog and others daily. One caveat here is that this shows unit growth as opposed to revenue growth. Lots more to dissect here but those points jump out immediately.
