How to get into startup mode?


1. Startup school for future founders

You get to hear many entrepreneurs talk. Choose your favorite products and find out the founders stories as well as how did it evolve from the initial MVP to product stage.

2. Be in a community of builders

Be where startup founders are.


3. Go to meeting of accelerators where founders and investors meet

You can get an idea of the momentum of different stages of founders. 

4. Stay curious

This led me to the wonderful talk of Crossing the enterprise chasm.  

5. Find a problem

your own

your friends

other peoples problem



Sounds like there is something useful in that, in terms of MVP ideas

This is where some smart saying from Steve Jobs fits - 

And you can change it-you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. - Steve Jobs

Stories in Blockchain

In  Whats next for blockchain ,  Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s blockchain lead demystifies some of the stories of Blockchain. Cryptocurrency is an application of Blockchain. "   it’s really not so much a story of people overestimating the usefulness of the technology as it is one of people underestimating the difficulty of implementing it.  " " I would say wherever you have data siloed across multiple systems, and you have multiple parties that need to interact, to read and write to that data, then you have a recipe for potentially an impactful blockchain use case." Bitcoin is to blockchain, as email is to the Internet " Blockchain technology will fundamentally change how transparency and authenticity are derived with anything from food, to ownership of vehicles, to verifying memorabilia, to personal identification due to continuing centralized companies being hacked." - Tampa Conference  “The Past, Present and Future of Blockchain and C...
