Episode Synopsis
Where venture dogmas go to dieHammad leads a long-awaited discussion about the concept of linearity, something that is becoming increasingly more important in today’s world. Given its significance, we’ve decided to make this a two-part episode, this first part focuses on venture capital and startups. Hammad begins by giving us his definition of linearity vs non-linearity, and shares his critiques of some of the traditional growth metrics like ‘triple, triple, double, double’. This episode has everything: twitter references, iPhones vs Android, Blackberry, and even some convos about COVID.Enjoy! 🔗 Show Resource LinksDan Gray’s tweetDan’s article: Venture Capital is Not CompetitiveHo Nam’s quote tweet🎙️ Podcast LinksSpotifyApple PodcastsX (FKA Twitter)Subscribe🌀 About Motion BlurExploring what makes great companies and technologies work.
