Mach 2: How anyone can build a permanent, defensible strategy. You’re not inventing a new $100B industry, but you do need a practical strategy.
You’re disillusioned with silly academic frameworks like SWOT, but you do need a process that creates a solid strategy for real products. You want a strategy that everyone in the company can participate in, that embraces your agile, even gut-feel approach to building products and delighting customers. You don’t want to replace the magic you already have, but you do want to hone and direct that energy to create something truly unique, that even well-funded incumbents cannot defeat.
Jason will share his deep knowledge born out of building his own highly successful bootstrapped and venture funded businesses and advising hundreds of others, to show how you can build a practical strategy that is right for you.
