Let’s go.

Here is the original pitch for DoorDash created by the founding team in 2013. What amazes me about this pitch is the fact that they lay out the pitch perfectly. They start with explaining who is on the team, the problem they are focusing on, how they uniquely solve this problem, what steps they took to create the minimum viable product and the traction they got so far. If anyone needs a great example for how to craft a start up pitch, use this video and share it!

The secret to making big ideas happen is radical collaboration At this years Superbowl Doordash pulled off something that has never been done before To demonstrate the fact they can deliver almost anything they came up with the idea of a promotion at the end of the Superbowl where you could "doordash all the ads" and win everything that was featured in an ad that night That's right, they would deliver a lucky winner every product featured; the cars, the tax software, the phone contracts, the drinks .... not quite sure how they were going to cope with Jesus & RFK but am sure they found a way ..? How do you come up with such a bold idea and then execute something that isn't just creative but a logistical nightmare? Kofi Amoo-Gottfried the CMO of Doordash described it as "radical collaboration" between the in-house team and Wieden + Kennedy and described it as leaving your ego at the door, thinking of it as "our thing not my thing" and treating everyone across in-house and the agency as part of the same team. I am a strong believer in the power of partnerships as they enable you to create something so much bigger than you could ever do alone. Working with a different organisation can bring its challenges which is why thinking of it in a radical way makes a lot of sense. What could you achieve if you were radical in your collaboration?

In working with college students with big, medium, or little ideas, I often found they needed just a bit of cash to get their ideas moving forward, however I also found that the process of applying for cash funding helped them shape their ideas, exposed them to critique to improve their plans, and led to strong mentoring relationships to move themselves and their amazing ideas forward.

It's easy to get caught up in the glamour of overnight success stories, but the truth is, everything takes time! Even iconic brands like The Coca-Cola Company had humble beginnings. In its first year, the company only sold an average of nine servings per day in Atlanta. Before launching GNGR Labs I spent years working on other start-ups and learning from my failures. So, here's a friendly reminder: success is a journey, not a destination. Every big brand started as a small idea fueled by passion and hard work. Keep dreaming big, stay focused, and never underestimate the power of persistence. #motivation #successmindset

McDonald's Just Invested in Us 💎 I've had a hard time posting in the past few months due to the recent horrors of #october7. It's the first time in 20 years that I wasn't called up for reserves in the reckon army unit I served in, and I've been grappling with internal conflicts of depression versus the need to continue working. After a first-ever Zoom call with my army friends, we realized that we have two new missions. The first is to help the Israeli economy by continuing to work, so the brave soldiers have an economy to come back to. The second is to try and be optimistic to help boost local morale. Truth is, we received this investment exactly 4 months ago, but it didn't feel like the right time to go public with this kind of news. It might still not be the best time as we're still at war with the most evil enemy we could imagine. Having said that, February 7, 2024, needs to be different. This year should be a year of growth, prosperity, resilience, and, although it's hard to say during these times, love. And a big thanks to the one and only Eyal Padan , McDonalds CMO. Who started as a client and, over the past 4 years, grew into over 20 use cases, turned into a friend, and now we share the same cap table. Wishing us all a future where sharing positive news doesn't feel so negative. #economicgrowth, #resilience, #optimism, #positivitymatters, #McDonaldspartnership, #innovation, #startupgrowth, #businessresilience
