I don’t know what success really is.

I’d be interested to hear a little bit of what Paga is doing to build up managers internally. One of the key challenges I always hear from students is major corps aren’t investing in developing managerial talent. Some of the best companies globally end up having to implement some kind of farm program for managers (Google’s APM program, Microsoft, GE…

Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Pokémon GO has almost as many one-star reviews on iOS as it does five-star ones. The problem is that people think that GO is something made by The Pokémon Company or Nintendo, when it really isn’t.

“Wealth is having everything you need and nothing you don’t.”
Your views are valid I must say. In my experience having started up what is somewhat traditional in my industry — finance and accounts @pistachio_ng — a business development outfit which targets SMEs, most “young entrepreneurs” have discovered, see the end of their vision and barely the details in the process, often due to naivety and inexposure.

Matt, I just ran the numbers on your aWeber subscription plan. Damn impressive. The only points this story misses is the “homeless, living in a discarded refrigerator box near the 3rd Street Promenade Tesla store in Santa Monica” CEO backstory.

Otherwise, right on point. Color me jealous.

I don’t think it flies in the face of everything we’ve learned. If Pokemon were a brand new concept, then yes it would. But it’s an extremely well-known brand that’s been around for decades. It doesn’t need growth hacking. It makes sense that the game would become so popular purely on their brand power.
Great piece of text Pano and thank you for mentioning homophily which I believe it deserves a post on its own, not only in terms of networking but also in terms of founding teams, recruitment etc. Probably one of biggest lessons I took so far and also a characteristic that I would look for to an aspiring entrepreneur (especially a first timer) is…
