Blitzscaling from @reidhoffman is great (amzn.to/2R3PKpp). Thread w/ excerpts on 7 topics that resonated:

- When to Blitzscale
- Slowness risks
- Distribution matters
- Virality + network effects
- Walking and chewing gum
- Needing a new strategy
- Learning machines
1/ When to Blitzscale a market: massive size, growing fast, and extreme competition
2/ The risks of moving slow vs. deciding incorrectly
3/ The undervalued importance of distribution and sustainable customer acquisition
4/ Virality and network effects drive growth and long-term defensibility
5/ Walking and chewing gum at the same time: how mature companies can make high upside bets
6/ Early indicators of needing a new strategy
7/ Becoming a "learning machine"
This sums up growth-stage startups pretty much perfectly: "Blitzscaling drives lightning growth by prioritizing speed over efficiency, even in an environment of uncertainty."
