I don't understand this:
During the the Lean Startup era, the advice was clear; focus on building the company and avoid hype. Now that advice has changed. Like every bubble this is a game of musical chairs. While you still need irrational focus on customers for your product, you and your company now need to be everywhere and look larger than life. Show and talk at conferences, be on lots of blogs, use social networks and build a brand. In the new bubble PR may be your new best friend, so invest in it.
The only justification Steve gives for hype-seeking is that this is a game of musical chairs. What does that mean?
- acconrad 16y agoThe hidden message is he's eating his own dogfood: he's pivoting lean startups to maintain relevancy while priming for a bubble by finding the change in market as a way to re-advertise the Lean Startup methodology. It's a numbers game - the higher your exposure, the greater your chances of finding the company that just so happens is looking to acquire you.
