✨ Big news ✨

I'm launching a job board, specializing in product-building roles—PM, Growth, Eng, Design, Data, etc. 💫

Hiring continues to be the hardest part of scaling a great software company. I want to help.

Find your next great gig: lennysnewsletter.com/jobs 🤗

More 👇 Image
1/ If you've been following my newsletter you've probably seen this section at the bottom where I highlight 🔥 job openings. This section emerged organically out of requests from readers to promote their open roles, or to help them find their next big career move. Image
2/ Over time, this section has become unwieldy and inefficient. I've also realized that my newsletter has now aggregated an incredible audience of product-builders, growth leaders, and founders. All of whom are hiring, want to be hired, or will eventually look for something new.

The 7 distinct types of product virality (aka how your product can spread):

1. Online WOM: Learning about products through mentions on social media (e.g. @joinClubhouse)

2. Offline WOM: Learning about products while talking to friends or colleagues (e.g. @Airbnb)

Read on 🧵
3. Incentivized invites: Get a reward for sharing (e.g. @PinduoduoInc)

4. Utility-based invites: Accomplish something ad-hoc with a friend/colleague (e.g. @Calendly)

5. Collaboration/socializing-based invites: Communicate with friends/colleagues (e.g. @WhatsApp, @figmadesign)
6. Passively experience the product: Notice the product as you go about your day or spend time with friends (e.g. @CitizenApp)

7. Actively experience the product: Get sent a piece of content from your friends, which leads you to the product (e.g. @tiktok_us)

New post: Top 5 reasons marketplaces fail

1. Lack of demand-side PMF: Not enough customers badly need what you’re selling (e.g. Zimride, Kitchensurfing, Neighborrow, Sharingear, Design Inc, Mapudo, Wydr)

Read on 🧵
lennysnewsletter.com/p/why-marketpl…
2. Lack of supply-side PMF: Your supply doesn’t get enough value from your marketplace (e.g. Prim, Exec, HelloParking, ShipItWise)

3. Lack of liquidity: You’re unable to consistently match supply and demand (e.g. Threadflip, Prefer, Zaarly, Varagesale, LetGo)
4. Bad unit economics: You’re unable to make a profit delivering a competitive price to customers while retaining supply (e.g. Shyp, Luxe, Cherry, Homejoy, Omni, Kitchit, Prim, Washio, Exec, Move Loot, 99 Dresses, Dinner Lab, Commerce One)

Types of projects you'll experience at work, as taught to us by Kurt Vonnegut:

1. Man in Hole: The project starts off OK, but you quickly find a huge issue, which you are able to recover from, and it ends up a big success.

More in 🧵
2. Boy Meets Girl: The project starts incredibly well, but quickly turns into a nightmare, which you recover from and it ends up even better than it started.

3. From Bad to Worse: You take on a project that's going badly, and it only continues to get worse.
4. Which Way is Up: You're working on a project and you have no idea if it's going well or not.

5. Creation Story: Your project keeps getting more and more resources, which you take and find uses for.

Looking at @a16z's Marketplace 100 got me wondering: what do marketplaces need to get right in order to beat non-marketplace alternatives?

Two main things:
1. Unlock an amazing new experience for customers
2. Unlock new revenue for supply

More in 🧵
a16z.com/marketplace-10…
1️⃣ Demand: Unlock an amazing new experience, in one of three ways

1. Provide much cheaper services through economies of scale: @Instacart @DoorDash @UberEats

2. Create brand new desirable supply: @BookCameo @outschool @Airbnb @Hipcamp @udemy @RoverDotCom
3. Aggregate previously disaggregated supply and make it easy to find and transact: @stockx @goatapp @thredUP @Outdoorsy @faire_wholesale @thumbtack @officialgooddog @Uber @lyft
