Dec 2022 The best startups (or even large tech companies) I’ve been in or seen are led by people who have the “Silicon Valley mindset.” This is basically a way to think about problems (customer problems and pain points), products (solutions to those pains), people (who to have on your team), PMF fit (product, market, founder/org fit), and execution plans (how to flexibly get stuff done yesterday, pivot to something new, or massively scale, using as few resources as possible). I believe this can be learned and taught and that there are faster, more efficient ways to do it than people realize. If you just read the short list of materials here, you will know as much as the top 5% of founders in Silicon Valley. The other materials will also help and inspire you.
