Jump Associates’ Post

In the latest episode of the Jump Podcast, Michelle Loret de Mola and I got into the fundamental shift wrecking company growth plans, and how leaders need to respond... Across industries, execs are racing to find a way to drive consumer demand. Some are looking to spur enough product innovation to meet their ambitious growth goals. Others are building out new loyalty programs that will keep consumers coming back for more. For their part, B2B companies are focusing on new sales incentive programs to drive the numbers. But igniting outsize growth isn’t simply about drumming up mass demand. It’s about creating and bringing something new and lasting into the market. And as the first wave of results comes in from these growth initiatives, some leaders are beginning to notice an underlying flaw in their assumptions. For decades, innovation depended on designing an offering that worked for one group of customers, and then taking that offering to the “mainstream.” But it doesn’t seem to be working that way anymore. At least not as often. Whether in music, food, clothing or travel, consumers are spinning off into ever smaller microtribes defined by niche preferences. And it’s making life a lot harder for the likes of Disney, Diageo, Nestle and Nike. An age of microtribes may require companies to fundamentally rethink their approach to innovation. Rather than looking for a billion-dollar idea, it may be important to find ten or twenty $100 million ideas. And we might need a very different organizational structure to manage those $100 million ideas. Large companies need to use a different model designed with separate cultures, creating an army of piranhas rather than a giant great white shark.

T minus 10 days before I launch Startup High! If 1 thing I have learnt for sure in this journey, is that before even anyone starts building, they should think about distribution. While building, they should think about distribution, and while launching too, think distribution. It is not as easy as it sounds like. But once you have built distribution, you can build whatever the hell you want (at least that is what it seems like to me when I watch the industry leaders in awe). Wonder why we have not got a lot of people talking about distribution strategies for first time founders. Podcast topic?

Two questions every entrepreneur should be able to answer: 1. How do you reach “product-market fit”? 2. How do you know when you’ve achieved it? The best break down I have heard of these two questions is on an old podcast episode where Mike Maples, Jr and Andy Rachleff discuss them in detail. (Side note: Andy actually coined the term "Product-Market fit") If you don't have time to hear the whole episode, this carousel provides you with many of the key highlights. Key Takeaways are: - Pursue non-consensus insights you believe are right - Find desperate early adopters, not the whole market at first - Iterate on customer and business model, not core product - Savor surprises and keep learning in the early days Would highly recommend saving this one if you are either wanting to launch a company or have already launched. Please let me know in the comments if it was helpful.

When should I sell my startup? This is a question I got a lot when I ran an investment bank. It comes up now in my coaching. After all, it's the biggest decision you might face in your career. A decision that could be life-changing. Ben Jabbawy faced this decision in 2021. He chose to exit, selling his previous business Privy for $120M. He is my guest this week on The Startup CEO Show. In this episode: - We go deep into the exit decision and process - We unpack what made Privy so successful - We talk about how to navigate the Shopify app ecosystem - Discuss the importance of market timing - How having a podcast and personal brand had a big impact on the exit - and much more.

In our newest episode of the Strategic Minds podcast, we dive deep into the journey from blank page to billions with none other than Bill Harris, cofounder of PayPal with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and CEO of TurboTax and Intuit, and now CEO of Evergreen Money.

Tune in to hear how Bill's visionary approach and business acumen have paved the way for his launch of nine successful companies. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned business leader, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss! Here are just a few of Bill’s thoughts from our conversation: “If you're going to start a business…, it better be new, different, and better.” “That is my competitive advantage. I have nothing. And having nothing in a period of rapidly accelerating change is an incredible strategic advantage if you know what to do with it.” “You can never focus enough. You can never shave off enough bells and whistles. You can never identify your customer sharply enough. You can never focus your efforts of yourself and your company enough. You have to pick the single most important thing and get it to the single best segment of people who will appreciate it.” “The biggest failure is when management feels that it has to go to boards with all the questions answered.” Then take a listen to the short segments that offer practical tools, tips, and techniques to think and plan strategically: Practice Makes Profit; League of Strategic Minds; Winsights: Ideas for Advantage.
