Instagram syndrome - Why Hyperloop style of Silicon Valley start-ups get the favor?has rejected multibillion-dollar check from Facebook and Google, Snapchat recently described as thunder out to do, to become one of the most popular talk. Can at the same time, the great dream of Elon Musk - Hyperloop but in Silicon Valley was cold. After the young geeks in their 20s have the opportunity to become a billionaire in fact make some sigh and sigh, someone calm down and thought this question: Why Instagram and Snapchat like 'toys' will be able to take a lot of dollars, and can completely change people's lives but often by employers who Hyperloop Cynicism treatment? Serial entrepreneur Jerzy Gangi recently posted on his personal blog of his questions and answers, and breath theory put forward ten, and finally he concluded: 'The fundamental reason is that investors and entrepreneurs have stopped thinking and it is bound by dogma, '' defect existing system start-up has on the ecology. In short, the Silicon Valley stifled innovation. ' Gangi's statement may be a bit too idealistic, or even bring a strong personal feelings, such as his question: 'Why does everyone in the cast for these ridiculous Internet companies money, rather than improving the lives of the invention sponsor?', 'Right now the whole Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial culture and global collective thinking has been cut off as Hyperloop this truly innovative company to market may 'and' most angel and VC are cowards 'and so on. But this does not prevent us from thinking that he put forward: Why Silicon Valley and abandon their pro Instagram Hyperloop them? Why is a picture of a mutual small applications can be worth $ 3 billion in cash, while the lowest 'only' need $ 6 billion in infrastructure projects Hyperloop have to worry about money? As he said, he just initiate it. Compiled from 9 theory Jerzy Gangi Bowen presented below. Theory 1 sucks the IPO market Hyperloop such companies, mergers and acquisitions (Merge and Acquisition, hereinafter referred to as M \u0026 amp; A) the exit is clearly not practical, IPO exit is. But today's market not wait to see IPO, so when an investor asked, 'How do we quit?' And you answered 'once IPO', then the likelihood that they will leave Cleveland. For many people, IPO even harder than before to build Hyperloop! Stock market used to be entrepreneurs seeking funding for their companies place, but now it has become a hedge fund brokers and traders are racking their brains to quantify each transaction from a pull down every possible place money. By the start-up to market changes and excessive transaction type allows the new company in the absence of a ten billion US dollars market value of the market situation it is difficult to survive. Moreover, today's stock market is not the same as 30 years of focus on value. Stock prices rise and fall based solely on supply and demand, so the actual business value of a company it can not be expressed through share price. So, but an investor says 'I do not want to give a target company to IPO investment', in fact, there is a grain of truth. From the entrepreneur or the investor's point of view, the investment potential of a company being acquired is in fact now the best and most reasonable investment strategy. But an investor can not exit in the early stages of investment, retail investors are nowhere to finance the company's potential market, Hyperloop is unable to market. That means there can not be available, does not exist can not mean that public investments. In this case, the only way to be able to develop Hyperloop is Elon Musk his own pocket. Currently the most reasonable M \u0026 amp; A policy does not fit Hyperloop this multibillion-dollar company, because nobody swallowed down. Theory 2 now conservative investment strategy, risk-averse investors and incubators are now widely used type of investment strategies using shotgun instead of sniper-style investment strategy. What does that mean? That is, early funding, angels, and small VC investment are most interested in while providing small amounts of funding to many start-ups, rather than to a few individuals have the potential to provide a lot of money. Shotgun-style investment strategy believe is always only a few people can succeed, but you can not know who is the person that will be successful, so they come in early to spread the risk by more than a small amount of capital investment and entrepreneurs ways. In other words, obviously did not exclude potential, then pray for the rest of the people will bring them huge returns. But the situation is not always so. Venture capital from the early 1990s this time, the sniper-style investment strategies have been popular. Then investors more insight, Air Jordan 9 Retro more foresight, they hand-picked a few of the most promising companies and careful cultivation. I'm not Nike Heels Boots belittling shotgun type investment, but to remind everyone sniper-style strategy is also to be successful. Why mention this? Because like Hyperloop this company needs at least a $ 20 million first round to prove the feasibility of the concept. If angels blindly take $ 50,000 of shotgun-style investment projects simply can not start, it's that simple. Caesar big net fishing investors often do not like to deal with large companies, they prefer a small amount of money you can spend half a year of small start-ups, and this is often the start-up companies that make products with the code. Time is one resource that the other people do not want to invest a lot of investment, because they value the quality rather than quantity. In this environment, Hyperloop this requires a lot of money and time companies do not become the most ideal investment. Theory 3 'We do not invest in the concept of' popular on the market today such a view: Unless you already have a user group, otherwise we will not give you investment. Whether you are a concept, team, or business model. The problem is, this way, companies that need capital to start pre ruthlessly excluded. For Hyperloop, there is no financial support, the company is unable to make any progress. When you need a helping hand gold master, they will say: 'You Air Jordan 18 are only a concept, but we do not invest in the concept.' So, that really Nike Air Yeezy inventor - Elon Musk by investors cast aside. This is not because he is no concept of value or not feasible, nor is it due to take no scientific evidence to prove it, but because there is a majority of people to be regarded as reasonable dogma tells investors: investment concept is a bad idea. In fact, it might be a bad idea, but there may be a good idea, it is possible with a higher risk, but can also bring higher returns. This question and bring out my next theory - 'MVP (minimum viable product, the most simple and feasible product) depends' Theory 4 MVP MVP dependence is highly dependent on a common problem now start another lap. The Lean Startup certain extent, contributed to this situation, the book recommends that entrepreneurs go further before the first viable product with one of the most simple to test the reflection of the market. MVP is an important means to test the concept, it can help confirm the business model and test the user's attitude. If you have an idea but do not know whether the market buy, MVP often have an immediate effect of the method. But now the business circle of dependence on the MVP has been a bit out of the way, so that start-up companies in the case without it completely unable to get the attention of investors. The problem is that, in the example Hyperloop the MVP in one that does not exist. Minimalist viable products original intention was to test a concept, and for Hyperloop, the faster mode of transport is a better mode of transportation safer mode of transport is a better mode of transportation, it is nothing to prove, because People do not need to change the so-called concepts to choose such a better way to travel - when it exists. Moreover, for a company like Hyperloop, MVP and finished products is not much difference, the difference is only in the size of it. Most technology start-up is the real MVP simplest possible product, after proving themselves need to be further developed and improved. Therefore, understanding the role of different types of MVP in the start-up is very important. Another feature of this concept is to encourage entrepreneurs 'earlier and faster' release products, in order to achieve this goal even at the expense of its essence. This is not applicable to Hyperloop because such an infrastructure project to simplify and create a test market for so-called MVP is a huge waste of time and money, after all theories are confirmed, all you need is a big the money to build it. I can guarantee that in the current environment, if someone with a Hyperloop style ideas to resort to an angel, it must be asked to make an MVP. Theory 5 market incentives to exit without reward innovation and value of current investors withdraw from more profitable, rather than stable revenues. If your company has a stable revenue but no one can take over, then there is no VC would be Nike Shoes interested in you. I did not evaluate this reality, but in the description of its existence: Exit is the current theme. Hyperloop is bringing billions in revenue each year of the company, perhaps to keep private continue to benefit through stable cash flow is a better choice. Unfortunately, the current market wait to see such companies, is a more popular way to exit. Investors are not willing and such a company tied together because they want to quickly withdraw from short-term investments and then moved on to other projects, thereby expanding the capital value of the unit of time. I do not know if this situation is good or bad, but I know that in this environment, Hyperloop difficult to succeed, because it is bucking the trend. Theory 6 investor tastes too divided intervals from 2009 to 2011, I did a lot of advertising, consulting, and colleagues to help all kinds of companies to rebuild the site. We often use such a joke to make fun of some rivals to compete, they describe themselves as 'designed for the mid-Atlantic region held by women Sustainable Energy Services.' These gaps excessive force targeting customers consultants in the market segments it is a bit funny. Now, you can easily find some investors to become 'social media investor' or 'e-business investors.' This is really silly. The real investors in all sectors equally. Buffett invested in railways, furniture companies, insurance companies, hundreds of different companies. He did not care that the industry investment. By selecting segments to avoid investment risk is totally ineffective. If you are not a good investor, no matter how you choose the right industry, failures are inevitable. So, with a similar idea Hyperloop you the kind of investor to help it? Social media or e-commerce? No, because the market there is no so-called 'new infrastructure project investment angel investors,' at least I have not heard. Not to mention that there are so thirty-four, they can not meet this concept requires a lot of money. If you want Hyperloop are successful, investors need to start to abandon these silly niche market, starting with his own brain to think. Because, Hyperloop does not belong to any existing industry, investors want to get out of their comfort zone, that goes beyond conventional thinking to invest. Theory 7 Most angels and VC are cowards I took my first seven theory summarized as: Angel and VC are cowards. Yes, they did kind. I'm not saying the risk management and careful selection is not necessary. But today's business climate has allowed investors - at least so-called investors risk losing courage. Although this is a very small aspect, but also enough to make Hyperloop difficult from the outset to avoid defeat. If your plan is going to build a major new transportation mode, then these cowardly investors clearly unreliable. Atari look behind the VC have it, those guys are the Air Jordan 10 real man yet. But now a man like this kind of running out, so we found more and more Instagram have appeared. 'No MVP do not vote. The concept does not cast non-social media do not vote. Non-Ecommerce do not vote' strategy although can help you avoid a lot of risk, but also the impact of a large number of innovations filtered out. One such strategy is the epitome Buffer. They have a lot of users, well, in fact I think this thing is guys are very clever invention. But that stuff's innovative content and a pinch of dust par. Is this the innovation we want it? I think it is the best representative of the above Buffe entrepreneurial culture: it has users, MVP, and within the scope of social media. It is also suitable M \u0026 amp; A route. But this is a fool dare to cast the project. Theory 8 research and development and talent retention is not to force, so the M \u0026 amp; A has become the preferred strategy to make up for the big companies are bad part of making the acquisition of outstanding internal R \u0026 D start-ups has become the primary means to make up for lack of innovation. On the other hand, financing the start-up and by M \u0026 amp; A policy exit will become a very popular way to invest, and then consume the majority of seed capital. For investors and entrepreneurs, this approach is easy as Wengzhongzhuobie. M \u0026 amp; A market therefore become big companies, especially in the first Fortune 100 giant outsourced R \u0026 D department. Air Jordan 14 Retro Companies like Cisco and the like can not own innovation, so they wait for entrepreneurs who proved himself again after acquisition. What does this mean for Hyperloop it? Inadequate bigwigs own innovative ability and talent retention leads now M \u0026 amp; A peaked. Investors and entrepreneurs are profit driven, so most of the money and talent on the market to flow into this market. Then many investors or entrepreneurs would say, 'Hyperloop really great, it can bring billions of revenue each year ... but forget it, we can spend a few years in some simple projects, then sell tens of millions to take the money and run. 'By 9 mistrust first time entrepreneurs who Theory in a Hyperloop reason Silicon Valley is being cold, generally do not believe that a first Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have the ability to drag a company one billion US dollars. This is a strange consensus, after all, like DHL, Amazon and Google are wading entrepreneurs from the initial hand. But the consensus is that there is, if you do not have a long list of shining Niubi experience, these investors bothered to care about you. Hyperloop similar plan has been a lot of scientists in academic years raised over the past 15 years, they are inexperienced entrepreneurs, so much ridicule. It can then be raised when Elon Musk, the idea actually instantly became the toast of the greatest ideas. There is no doubt that if we can treat serial entrepreneur listening attitude towards entrepreneurs addition to words, Hyperloop already appeared. The fact is, a lot of Instagram appeared. The real reason Theory 10: We are a group of sheep blindly I am confident that under the theory I listed a bunch of reasons to play a fundamental role, that is: Investors and entrepreneurs have stopped thinking, became the dogma of slaves. We fall into such a trap: the level of business methods are good or bad. We ignore this reality: if the so-called real effective use of dogma, why there are so many startups failed to get investment? If a cook with his recipes made out of ten, only a biscuit to eat, you are not the shot bang him? If you want Hyperloop type of start-up companies emerge, we need thinking out of the existing frame. Sometimes, you need to invest a concept. Sometimes, a program written on a napkin really worth a $ 10 million check. Sometimes, you need to MVP ... Sometimes, you do not need. Sometimes, you need a business plan, and sometimes you do not. Sometimes, mergers and acquisitions is a good idea, sometimes, IPO is. Instagram who meet all of pop culture, but did not bring any innovation. Hyperloop not meet any of the popular indicators, we were able to completely change people's lives. Such companies do not MVP, high risk, not an experienced angel can provide guidance, there is no precedent, require listed ... it's almost a violation of every reasonable investment rules now, but there may very well become the most valuable investment One. We must begin to break the existing rules, begin to think independently. Unless noted, articles are original or compiled site, please indicate: articles from 36 Krypton
