(ENG) Techstars’ CEO: The Venn Diagram Of Billion Dollar Ideas (How To Create Unicorns)

from Startupeable: Emprendimiento | Tecnología | Venture Capital

David Cohen (fundador de Techstars) fue inversionista ángel en Uber. También tuvo la oportunidad de invertir en Lyft — y la rechazó. Mismo mercado. Mismo timing. Dos outcomes completamente diferentes en su portafolio.¿La diferencia? En Uber conoció a Ryan Graves (el primer empleado) en Techstars. "Hice click con él." Invirtió sin conocer a los fundadores de Uber.En Lyft, Matt Van Horn era mentor en Techstars. Eran amigos. Pero la idea le parecía estúpida: "Transporte entre ciudades para universitarios? No lo entendía."Ese mismo equipo pivoteó, siguió a Uber, y construyó una empresa de miles de millones.Después de 20 años evaluando startups, el patrón de sus fallos es siempre el mismo.También en este episodio:Por qué AI crea un "efecto barbell" para startups — el medio se queda atrapadoEl meme interno de Techstars: "Reemplaza 'AI' con 'software'"Cómo escalar una red sin romperla: la clave es la segmentación.Por qué agentes de AI van a hacer venture capital — y probablemente mejor que humanosLa filosofía de Jack Bogle aplicada a VC: "La industria financiera solo resta valor"Más de Startupeable en inglés:YouTube | Sitio Web
