The service and industrial sectors have dominated the global economy for hundreds of years but soon their sun will set. Information technology has been accumulating momentum\u00a0expoentially for the last few decades, and now the infrastructure is in place for the global economy to be completely reorganized in information technology&#8217;s image. Every job where a human performs some repeatable process will be put into software. While as many as 50% of today&#8217;s jobs may become irrelevant, a greater number of new jobs will be created during this transformational period<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kauffman.org\/newsroom\/u-s-job-growth-driven-entirely-by-startups.aspx\">. The Kauffman Foundation found<\/a> that scalable startups are the engines the drive nearly all economic growth and job creation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"magicdomid406\">The increasing economic importance of startups represents a tremendous opportunity. Startups in Silicon Valley have created millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of wealth over the last 3 decades and yet the market potential of technology startups is only in the beginning of its unfolding. The international community has taken notice and new startup ecosystems are being built up all over the world with the hopes of replicating what Silicon Valley has created. Spearheading this movement are organizations like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandbox-network.com\/\">Sandbox<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/seedcamp.com\/\">Seedcamp<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techstars.org\/\">Techstars<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opinno.com\/\">Opinno<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.founderinstitute.com\/\">Founders Institute<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/500startups.com\/\">500 Startups<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/singularityu.org\/\">Singularity University<\/a>.\u00a0And on an individual level, the brightest people all around the world, are increasingly seeing entrepreneurship as the career path of choice. Starting a company is sexier than a becoming a suit on Wallstreet.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3512827924_889fbd1d7a_o1.jpg.scaled10001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-929\" title=\"voltaire\" src=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3512827924_889fbd1d7a_o1.jpg.scaled10001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"423\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3512827924_889fbd1d7a_o1.jpg.scaled10001.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3512827924_889fbd1d7a_o1.jpg.scaled10001-211x300.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid71\"><strong>The Mystery of Success <\/strong><\/div>\n<div>But despite the supreme economic importance of scalable startups, we still\u00a0don&#8217;t understand the patterns of successful creation.\u00a0More than 90% of startups fail,\u00a0due predominantly to\u00a0self-destruction\u00a0rather\u00a0than competition.\u00a0For the less than 10% of startups that do succeed, most\u00a0encounter a handful of near death experiences along the way.<\/div>\n<div>There seems to be somewhat of a contradiction.\u00a0If the\u00a0way we create startups today doesn&#8217;t work very well,\u00a0how do so many startups\u00a0go on to create millions if not billions of dollars of wealth?\u00a0\u00a0One explanation is that the threshold for success is not that high.\u00a0In today&#8217;s economic\u00a0climate it is possible to succeed by just getting a few important things right, even if you get everything else wrong. But with the complexity of today&#8217;s modern world why is the bar for success not higher?\u00a0One reason\u00a0is\u00a0the\u00a0insatiable market demand\u00a0for the delivery of\u00a0even incremental\u00a0increases in value.\u00a0\u00a0Another reason is the\u00a0inability\u00a0of large companies\u00a0to react quickly to changing\u00a0consumer demand. While large companies became extremely efficient executers at the turn of the 20th century with the advent of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scientific_management\">Taylorism<\/a>, they haven&#8217;t learned to adapt quickly, which is\u00a0a death knell\u00a0with today&#8217;s pace of change as fast as it is.\u00a0So startups can be immensely successful just by getting a few things right, the bar is no higher. But if success requires only getting a few things right, why haven&#8217;t we gotten much better at more consistently creating successful startups?<\/div>\n<div>From the tens of thousands of startups created in Silicon Valley and the hundreds that have bloomed into billion dollar companies\u00a0a lot of experience of both success and failure has been accumulated. Through this the startup community has learned a lot about what works and what doesn&#8217;t. But the way we pass down this hard earned wisdom in the form of advice is severely flawed. While the war stories of success and faillure are often inspirational, entrepreneurs have trouble undersanding cause from correleation, skill from luck and the factors that make advice relevant or not. Our insights are like the puzzle pieces of a massive jigsaw puzzle, scattered across thousands of minds throughout The Valley. Since very little of the puzzle pieces have been matched together, every startup, with the benefit of a few trusted advisors, needs to beat a new path towards success.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/LeanStartup-ProductDevelopment.png.scaled1000.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-928\" title=\"LeanStartup-ProductDevelopment.png.scaled1000\" src=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/LeanStartup-ProductDevelopment.png.scaled1000.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"526\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/LeanStartup-ProductDevelopment.png.scaled1000.png 876w, https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/LeanStartup-ProductDevelopment.png.scaled1000-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>Signs of Awakening<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Until very recently the startup community has been ineffective at stiching any of its learnings together into repeatable processes and fundamental principles. The seminal work in the space was <a href=\"http:\/\/steveblank.com\/\">Steve Blank<\/a>&#8216;s book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Steven-Blank\/dp\/0976470705\">The Four Steps to the Epiphany<\/a>. Steve was able to synthesize decades of startup experience into a model that described the key differences between success and failure. One of his biggest insights was that most startups fail because they can&#8217;t find customers not because their technology doesn&#8217;t work. The solution to this problem was a methodology Steve called <a href=\"http:\/\/steveblank.com\/2009\/08\/31\/the-customer-development-manifesto-reasons-for-the-revolution-part-1\/\">Customer Development<\/a>. Customer Development recognized that most of a startups beliefs on day one were simply hypotheses, and outlined a rigorous way to test these hypotheses, effectively applying the scientific method to business. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startuplessonslearned.com\/\">Eric Ries<\/a> collaborated closely with Steve Blank and took Customer Development to the next level by combining it with Agile Development and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lean_manufacturing\">Lean Manufacturing Principles<\/a>. Eric called this the Lean Startup and its message has spread like wildfire around the world becoming a movement of sorts. Meanwhile, others have independently made important contributions in narrower domains such as Alex Osterwalder in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessmodelgeneration.com\/\">Businesss Models<\/a>, Sean Ellis in <a href=\"http:\/\/startup-marketing.com\/\">Marketing<\/a>, and Dave Mcclure in <a href=\"http:\/\/500hats.typepad.com\/500blogs\/2007\/09\/startup-metrics.html\">Metrics<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div>The Lean Startup and its compliments have done a tremendous job raising awareness that there is a better way to run startups, and many entrepreneurs have begun incorporating these principles and tactics into their workflow, but it&#8217;s all really just the tip of the iceberg of what&#8217;s possible.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4825781529_6d370b1b02_b.jpg.scaled1000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-930\" title=\"4825781529_6d370b1b02_b.jpg.scaled1000\" src=\"http:\/\/maxmarmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4825781529_6d370b1b02_b.jpg.scaled1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4825781529_6d370b1b02_b.jpg.scaled1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.maxmarmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4825781529_6d370b1b02_b.jpg.scaled1000-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong><br \/>\nInside Look Into The Startup Genome<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid88\">To take the next step\u00a0we&#8217;ve been working on laying the groundwork for\u00a0the Startup Genome Project.<\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid90\">We want to do for startups what Pandora did for music in order to understand how innovation happens at a fundamental level and the spread the knowledge of these principles worldwide.<\/div>\n<div>We believe an interdsciplinary approach is possible, where insights from a diverse set of fields and perspectives can be integrated into a personalized solution stack, that entrepreneurs can use on a daily basis to figure out what their goals should be, and\u00a0recieve\u00a0recommendations for\u00a0resources they\u00a0need to take the\u00a0next step.<\/div>\n<div>I believe we\u00a0now\u00a0have the foundations for this project to expand very rapidly.\u00a0Similar to how <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Music_Genome_Project\">Pandora broke music down into a few hundred attributes<\/a>, we\u2019ve created a taxonomy for startups, which allows us to classify them into different types.\u00a0This\u00a0approach\u00a0helps\u00a0us\u00a0organize\u00a0principles, tactics, and methodologies in relation to specific factors.\u00a0When we define the factors these things depend on we can begin creating a system to manage the chaos and complexity of organizing the information about what makes startups successful.\u00a0While the common wisdom seems to be that the number of factors is infinite or indefinable, our initial set of variables has brought a lot of clarity.<\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid931\">The second foundational component\u00a0of the Startup Genome\u00a0was\u00a0our realization that we could treat the startup as an organism and take many cues from the field of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Evolutionary_developmental_biology\">evo-devo biology<\/a>. This approach allowed us to create developmental models\u00a0of startups, where we can define the gating factors a startup needs to pass through in order to evolve. The developmental approach enables us to synthesize\u00a0the models of many entrepreneurial thought leaders, such as Steve Blank, Eric Ries, Sean Ellis and Geoffrey Moore\u00a0by making it possible to express at exactly what stage in the life cycle each method is relevant and how they relate to each other.<\/div>\n<div>Lastly, when we combine the classification system with the developmental\u00a0approach\u00a0we can create unique developmental models for every type of startup. This allows us to recommend the information, methodologies and contacts\u00a0that are exactly relevant for what a startup is currently working on.<\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid102\">We&#8217;ve laid out an ambitious roadmap to bring together specialists from a diverse set of fields to develop methodologies, models and knowledge entpreneuers can use to make their startups more successful.
