STARTUPis NOT like playing chess,
in five stepsmoves
chess rules are the same from millennia
and all around the world1
your competition landscape has no rules
and changes day by day
once you move, you can’t come back2
pivot and switch as many times as you can
and sometimes, take advantages in cheating!
(sometimes) you play to get cash and - if so - do celebrate!3
(almost always) you need cash to
start playing!
and “celebrating raising capital is like celebrating you bought
condoms before a date” @sgblank
(usually) you have one opponent per
game…
4
you play more games, with many opponents!
You play more games, with many opponents!
you have to practice, but there are good
handbooks5
there are good books, but like a
sponge cake !
you can eat more and more, but you are never
satisfied!
and a piece of advice…
Don’t be distracted by your opponent!
