PAPER SUMMARY

On the one hand, each startup is different and unique in its own way. Differences may stem from the industry, the business model, the type of leadership in the organization. There are plenty of reasons. On the other hand, there are some common elements in building new ventures, which are a kind of secret sauce so much needed to succeed. I will present my conclusions from serial venture building, scaling startups and managing them from bird’s eye perspective, having in mind the organization’s entire life cycle. I will indicate the components of the engine, which, if properly oiled, will help you focus on building a strategic competitive advantage. Key takeaways from this speech? Ready to implement tips and tricks on agile mindset, designing new ventures and entering markets you’re not familiar with.
