QUOTES

 

“We define Blitzscaling as the pursuit of rapid growth by prioritizing speed over efficiency in the face of uncertainty.”

“The reason to blitzscale, the reason to take on that additional risk, is to win a valuable winner-take-most market.”

“When you have a network effect, that tends to drive a winner-take-most market because, at a certain point, the network value is greater than the product value.”

“Blitzscaling is not just about spending a lot of money on marketing and advertising. You need to be better at it than the competition.”

“AI is almost certainly the biggest wave that we are going to experience in our lifetimes.”

“The Industrial Revolution replaced muscle power with mechanical power. AI is replacing human brainpower with computing power.”

“AI is creating more winner-take-most opportunities. We have a natural learning effect and the traditional network effects.”

“The true value of AI is not just in faster, cheaper, and better, but in doing things that were never possible before.”

“If you treat AI like an undergrad research assistant—it knows everything but understands nothing—you’ll use it effectively.”

“Most startups will fail, but we are in one of the most amazing environments for startups in history.”
