UNLESS/UNTIL you have achieved *PROOF…

*Proof of Concept?
*Proof of Assumptions?
*Proof of Product/Market Fit?
*Proof of any Reliable OBJECTIVE Indicators (of better-than-average odds of success)?

…the Harsh Reality is:

• YOUR Assumptions, Beliefs, Confidence (#ABC?) — about YOUR startup — can simply NOT be taken as RELIABLE or OBJECTIVE (because *EVERY* ENTREPRENEUR has all that about THEIR startup!) Therefore:
• OBJECTIVELY, you are NOT a good bet… for an investor’s money — or even for the “all-in / full-time” plunge by YOU!

So, What DO We Suggest & Encourage…??

PRIMARY PRINCIPLES & PHILOSOPHIES

[For “STARTER STARTUPS” & PART-Time “PURSUIT OF PROOF” Programs!]

• Entrepreneurial Self-Awareness
• Complementary Co-Founders
• Objectivity Over Optimism
  (Statistically Probable vs. Theoretically Possible)
• PART-Time Pursuit of… *
  *PROOF (…of Concept, of Assumptions, of MVP Viability, of Product-Market Fit…)
• Bootstrapped / Self-Funded / Low Overhead
  (at least initially, “Prior to Proof”)
• Risk-Mitigation (not risk glorification & celebration)
• Entrepreneurial Employees
  “Investing Hours” vs. “Investment Dollars”
  #ProfitsAsPerks #HustleFunded
• Anticipate Pivots BEFORE you’re forced to
• A-B Testing isn’t just for marketing! A-B Test EVERYTHING
• Short-Term Goals:
  PROVE Key Assumptions
  Achieve RELIABLE OBJECTIVE INDICATORS
  Crawl first → then Walk → THEN Run!

Principles & Philosophies — More Specific to our “WHATEVER NETWORK” Starter Startups

• Shared Resources / Economies of Scale
• A Cross-Promotional “Network Effect” (and our existing fanbase of 1.7 MILLION fans?!?)
• Blurring lines between Products, Content, Marketing:
