    Breakthrough Lessons: Design your category May 17, 2021
    Show notes

    Startups change the future so they MUST be different, rather than better. Christopher Lochhead shows us how category designers realize that different is believable from a startup, but better is not. Any powerful startup idea pre-supposes an exponentially different future, which means your startup MUST change the way the people think about the future rather than incrementally improve on the products they already use. Different forces a choice rather than a comparison. And different sticks, while better gets lost in the noise. In this lesson of greatness, we cover the specific steps involved in applying category design to your startup.

    Many founders claim their startups contain network effects, but many of these claims only scratch the surface.

Anu Hariharan shows us the specific decisions and trade-offs we can weigh that startups often overlook.
