@thesamparr: Met a guy who scaled his last company to $300M in revenue in under 3 years. He told me how he did it + what he’s learned after making life-changing money. His name is Char Kwon and he was one of the first employees at Turing, which became a unicorn just 2.5 years after launch. I asked him what he learned and he told me 3 things: 1. Pick a big, fast-growing market "If the market is big and growing fast, you can make so many mistakes. But you get the tailwind of the market growth." At Turing they went after software engineering, the biggest, fastest-growing vertical. If they'd picked accounting or design, he told me that they "may have died." 1. “Speed is what matters the most” They were always asking, what's the fastest, cheapest way to validate an experiment? It's also how they survived nearly dying 3-4 times: pre-COVID when nobody believed in remote hiring, during COVID when hiring froze, and in 2022 when the tech bubble burst. 1. "If everything is important, then nothing is important." His team kept Charlie Munger's almanac around. The rule they had was, write your 5 most important things, cross off everything else, never look at it again. Ruthlessly deprioritize. I also asked him what it felt like after making life-changing money, and he said that (1) it gave him confidence to start his next company, (2) he thought he would retire but didn’t, and (3) he now prioritizes working with good people. I met Char because he’s in my community Hampton (avg member does $25m/yr). If you’re doing at least $3M/yr in revenue, check it: https://joinhampton.com/
