  • Bill Gross has founded a lot of start-ups, and incubated many others - and he got curious about why some succeeded and others failed. So he gathered data from hundreds of companies, his own and other people's, and ranked each company on five key factors. He found one factor that stands out from the others - and surprised even him.

      @@EricChowder7 Well i'm actually an entrepreneur with an exit already at 21 years of age, but no entrepreneur can really measure timing accurately. You can take educated guesses but that's not what measures an entrepreneur's skills, let's not forget that arguably the best entrepreneur of the 21st century Jeff Bezos has had quite a lot of failures and if anyone would be good at predicting timing, it would have been him with all that experience.
      The biggest reason for success is founders understanding and knowing customers really well, nothing more than this one. If you really understand people, you will be in a great position to build things they actually need, i bet you the airbnb founders never ever thought about timing in 2008 when they launched their first version, all they believed in was the great social experience that two strangers can get really close in just a short amount of time.
      Although i'm not advising to discard timing, it's still important but it's more of a natural thing where you have little control over, if you focus on understanding people and your ability to create things fast, you can get a long way.

      Zyzyzx Zyzer DO NOT PUT YOUR MONEY IN BANKS.
      GET A CREDIT UNION.
      I know, it can sometimes be difficult to find a good credit union that you are eligible to join but even the crappy ones have lower fees, lower interest rates on loans and higher interest rates on deposits than the best banks. Plus they lend disproportionately to local businesses helping the local economy.

      Isaac Karjala So true. I've never understood why people would use a bank over a credit union. (Assuming there's a credit union in the area.)
      For any teenagers out there reading this: First, I commend you for being interested in TED talks. Second, here's the key differences between a credit union and a bank:
      In the United States, credit unions are not-for-profit organizations that exist to serve their members rather than to maximize corporate profits. Like banks, credit unions accept deposits, make loans, and provide a wide array of other financial services. But as member-owned institutions, credit unions focus on providing a safe place to save and borrow at reasonable rates. Unlike banks, credit unions return surplus income to their members in the form of dividends.
      Fees and loan rates at credit unions are generally lower, while deposit dividend and interest rates are generally higher than banks and other for-profit institutions.

      thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,

  • @neutrinocoffee1151
    @neutrinocoffee1151 8 років тому +2722

    I love this guy's energy, but you have to keep in mind that the raw data that went into this whole analysis was just his subjective intuitions about how good the timing, idea, funding, business model, and team of each company was. Who knows how accurate that is. And it might be biased toward certain hunches he already has about why startups succeed, since he is thinking about these companies retrospectively, already knowing which ones succeeded and which ones failed.

That being said, great analysis!

    Even though the concepts are nothing new (supply and demand), and his weighting system was subjective, he had the power of history on his side so his assessments are not necessarily "biased." Timing is definitely an important factor, along with other things like persistence and resources (not just funding resources but also being connected to the right people).

Everything he mentioned, can be quantifiable to a certain extent, it can be part of data driven strategy.

    I think the key here is that you can fix idea, funding, business model and team. You can pivot, get more funding or change the team, any time.
    However, you can't fix time, when the right time is gone, it is gone, and if you are too early that means there is no business (no sales) and, since nobody knows the future, it will be difficult to get funding.

      Timing has always been the biggest factor ever. Amazon was garbage at first because it was years ahead of its time. Failure to innovate (keep up with the timing) is the same thing, hence Blockbuster going out of business as stuff went digital. They had the funds and everything needed but didn’t keep up. There’s millions of examples of why timing is everything regardless how good the idea is, depends on the masses willingness to take it.

  • @jonessarfo3865
    @jonessarfo3865 4 роки тому +6

    This video is significantly important and a must watch for everyone considering startup. Each factor he mentioned has its significant important after thinking through it. I always thought idea will be a high important among all when considering startup, since without idea one cannot even dare think of startup. I guess idea will mean nothing if not executed right. Indeed, timing is the most important because it will help you determine when the market or technology changes, and the right time to acquire the most customers with specific prices. For team, you can not realize your vision without the team. Hiring the right team is extremely important for any startup, because it is the team that plays a key role in understanding and executing the vision. Then follow with idea, business model and funding which I strongly agree with.

On of the question the start-up should ask himself :" If people ready for it?" As for me , it is a very important question. If the don't ask it the may have the same situation as was with UA-cam. It means that several years ago UA-cam was unnesesary, but not now. Tanks to Bill Gross a lot of people can think about it!!

    Start-ups are more fruitful and successful when the timing, team and execution are the focus. I entirely agree with Bill Gross, the most important key factor in a start-up company is time. Companies fail because they don't prioritize time and have a motivated team, instead they believe that funding, business model, or the idea is the most important. However,
    business model, funding and the idea of your start-up is still crucial, since the beginning of a new business includes all 5 key factors.

      Did you not watch the video? Timing is they key. You can have the best team and executing ever but if the timing it wrong then you likely won't succeed. If you're too early, you just need to persists, if possible. But if you're too late then there's little chance. However a good team will know how to pivot when necessary.

    The great thing this speaker pointed out is the timing. it's another word for NEED. A business that does not objectively was established to solve or fulfil a market need that has not been fulfilled or is not properly cultivated, then it's a sign of its later demise.
    Timing also implicitly includes how unique is your product(s) or service(s) and whether it can be executed faster than others in much cost-effective manner without affecting the quality.

    A positive reason behind any startup's success is getting their team a consensus on a common vision.
    For most, Startup = Risk and for rest, Startup = Opportunity

    While I agree to his point, nobody knows when is the best time. The 6th aspect that is missing here is the Entrepreneur's PASSION. Passion leads to perseverance and that is what is needed to hold on for longer time. Else, even if you time it well, you could lose if there is no team, funding or business model. We have had many companies who came into limelight, but disappeared overnight. That's the reason why super successful startup CEOs give credit to luck (which is nothing but being there at the right time).

Even though bitcoin is volatile, its price movement is influenced by the same conditions as tradFi(Supply and Demand), With this you can time mrkt pivot signals with the right tools, "rinse and repeat". Recent capitulations are perfect for a relieve rally. Considering all this, you need to have a go to strategy when trading, because when you buybitcoin, you're buying days you won't have to work.

      P MF timing does not always mean demand.
      Timing means the atmosphere, and economic conditions are conducive for your business idea to prosper.
      For example UA-cam became a big hit when internet broadband penetration became sufficient and codecs for videos on browsers were fixed.
      Timing also means the people are ready for it and that there are issues that need to be solved.
      Remember Google Glasses, great idea but wrong timing in an era where privacy is a hot topic.
      Demand is one aspect of timing. Bear that in mind

      I have an idea :
      it's a new type of restaurant : eating-spots,
      in an eating-spot, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate,
      thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,
      along with this, there is an app,
      people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
      menu is influenced by the live input of the customers via an app

    How do you quantify "Idea"? Or even proper timing?

      Yellow King
      Idea >>> Usefulness x Desirability of the Product
      Timing>> Demand + Technological Means in relation to delta T

      Yellow King A business idea is something new you can (eventually) create a business model around.
      Timing is (as he mentioned) "can costumers receive the product "and "are there many competitors".

      I'd say it's got a lot to do with market potential and originality.
      AirBnB probably got a 10 cause the market for home rentals is huge and was relatively untapped. While Pets.com probably got a 3 cause it's ...just another pet store.

    I think Finding the problems in world and providing best possible solution to them is also a part of successful start-ups.

    I like this! I start by getting some general knowledge like from this talk, then watch some other videos with other generalized content. After that the algorithm recommends me videos that are about this topic, then I search for more detailed information more and more and finally, I got to do it. Hopefully it’ll work this time, too! :)

    Great video. But let me talk about something important, I see many young and old make mistakes that I think should not be. I believe that everyone, young or old, should have an investment plan that increases their financial returns from three figures to six figures. The investment can be your retirement plan or future plan, depending on what you want, but what matters most is that you have an investment that is profitable.
