10+1 Lessons from Serial Entrepreneur Justin Kan
Рет қаралды 79,520
Күн бұрынa16z General Partner Andrew Chen (@andrewchen) talks with serial entrepreneur and co-founder & CEO Justin Kan (@justinkan) about lessons he's learned as a founder. Justin is a repeat entrepreneur who co-founded Kiko Software (a Web 2.0 calendar that pre-dated Google Calendar by 4 years), Justin.tv (a lifecasting platform), Twitch.tv (a live streaming platform for esports, music, and other creatives, now part of Amazon), Socialcam, and now Atrium, a software-powered law firm for startups.
Justin reflects on his journey and shares 10 + 1 lesson he’s learned along the way:
- The paradox of choice: choosing a focus
- Tradeoffs between B2B versus B2C companies
- Market risk vs execution risk
- Fundraising strategy: go big or stay lean?
- Managing the stress of being a startup CEO (again!)
- Seeking out mentors, coaches, and peers for help
- Intentionally designing a culture to avoid the pitfalls of “culture eating strategy”
- Things he’s still doing in his latest startup-and things he’s doing very differently
- Managing higher expectations now that he's not a first-time founder
- What he’s reading and listening to
- Bonus (+1): advice he’d give his 20-year old self just starting out in tech

Watching this post Atrium folding brings a whole new tone to this, still packed to the brim with solid advice/insight, but also does color it differently

Fully agree, its funny how we at times put a voice to people, but when life happens as it does, and Justin spoke, it gives you a whole new perspective, so great. Side note, reminds me of the radio host of the past Kasey Kasem(sp) when I finally saw him, the voive and face didnt match, hahah, humans are always surprising themselves. Hope all are well.
