THE PLAYBOOK FOR DELIVERING EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS
FROM ILYA STREBULAEV, STANFORD PROFESSOR,
AND ALEX DANG, VENTURE BUILDER AT AMAZON & MCKINSEY
The Venture Mindset
How to make smarter bets
and achieve extraordinary results
Behind life changing companies like Amazon, Google, Moderna, SpaceX, and Zoom, are Venture Capital investors. VCs are known for their extraordinary ability to spot emerging trends, identify disruptive startups, attract talent, and bring new industries into being.
The Venture Mindset is a new mental model where failure is a must, ideas are rejected in their myriads in search of a single winner, due diligence is put on its head, dissent is encouraged, plugs are pulled, and time horizons are extended. It is fundamentally different from the mindset found throughout the rest of the business world. This mindset helps leaders to develop a strong pipeline of ideas, make smarter, quicker decisions, and deliver more value at scale.
