创业公司如何才能成功
演讲者:Bill Gross
Im really excited to share with you some findings that really surprise me about what makes panies succeed the most, what factors actually matter the most for startup success.I believe that the startup anization is one of the greatest forms to make the world a better place.
非常高兴,能够与你们分享 一些使我感到十分惊讶的发现。 这些发现是关于什么最能使公司成功以及对于创业公司,什么因素最要紧。 我相信,创业组织是使世界成为更好的地方的最伟大的形式之一。
If you take a group of people with the right equity incentives and anize them in a startup, you can unlock human potential in a way never before possible. You get them to achieve unbelievable things.But if the startup anization is so great, why do so many fail? Thats what I wanted to find out.
如果你能用合适的股权激励来召集一帮人 并且把他们组织起来创业的话 你就能以前所未有的方式释放了人类潜能。 并引领他们去完成不可置信的事情。 但是,如果创业组织那么伟大,为什么还会有很多失败呢? 这就是我想要探究的问题。
I wanted to find out what actually matters most for startup success.And I wanted to try to be systematic about it, oid some of my instincts and maybe misperceptions I he from so many panies Ive seen over the years.I wanted to know this because Ive been starting businesses since I was 12 years old when I sold candy at the bus stop in junior high school。
我想要了解,对创业公司的成功来说, 到底什么最为重要。 我也想要对此问题系统化的分析,避免一些因为我这些年看到许多公司 而得来的直觉上的误解。 我想要知道这个,因为,我从12岁上初中,在汽车站售卖糖果时, 便开始我自己的商业活动。
to high school, when I made solar energy devices, to college, when I made loudspeakers. And when I graduated from college, I started software panies. And 20 years ago, I started Idealab, and in the last 20 years, we started more than 100 panies, many successes, and many big failures. We learned a lot from those failures.So I tried to look across what factors accounted the most for pany success and failure.
在高中时,我做太阳能设备的生意, 在大学时,我做扩音器生意。 当我从大学毕业的时候,我成立了一家软件公司。 20年前,我成立了创意实验室, 在过去的20年里,我们成立超过100家公司。 其中,很多成功了,也有很多失败了。 我们从那些失败中学到了很多。 所以,我尝试去探索是什么因素导致公司的成败。
So I looked at these five. First, the idea. I used to think that the idea was everything. I named my pany Idealab for how much I worship the aha! moment when you first e up with the idea. But then over time, I came to think that maybe the team, the execution, adaptability, that mattered even more than the idea.
所以我关注在这5点。 第一,创意。 我过去认为,创意就是全部。 我将我的公司命名为创意实验室, 是因为,我十分推崇,当你首次想到某个想法的时候,aha(啊哈)开窍的时刻。 但是,随着时间的推移, 我认为或许团队、执行力或者是适应力, 比创意更要紧。
I never thought Id be quoting boxer Mike Tyson on the TED stage, but he once said, Everybody has a plan, until they get punched in the face. (Laughter) And I think thats so true about business as well. So much about a teams execution is its ability to adapt to getting punched in the face by the customer. The customer is the true reality. And thats why I came to think that the team maybe was the most important thing.
我从没想过,我会在TED的舞台上,引用拳王泰森的话,但是,他曾经说过, 每个人都有计划,直到被人打脸为止。(笑声) 我认为,对于生意也是这样的。 对于一个团队的执行力为说,最要紧的, 是它使自己能适应被客户打脸的能力。 客户就是真理。 这就是为什么我认为 团队是最重要的事情。
Then I started looking at the business model. Does the pany he a very clear path generating customer revenues? That started rising to the top in my thinking about maybe what mattered most for success.Then I looked at the funding. Sometimes panies received intense amounts of funding. Maybe thats the most important thing?
然后,我开始关注商业模式,就是这个公司是否有一条清晰的能产生客户收益的路线图吗? 商业模式开始成为我对什么对成功最重要 这一思考的重点。 然后,我关注了资金。有时候一些公司会去吸纳大量的资金, 也许这是最重要的事情?
And then of course, the timing. Is the idea way too early and the worlds not ready for it? Is it early, as in, youre in advance and you he to educate the world? Is it just right? Or is it too late, and theres already too many petitors? So I tried to look very carefully at these five factors across many panies. And I looked across all 100 Idealab panies, and 100 non-Idealab panies to try and e up with something scientific about it.
当然还有时机,这个想法是不是太早了,我们还没有做好迎接它的准备? 它是不是太超前了以至于你不得不来教导世界? 它恰在时机吗? 或者它是不是太晚,已经有太多的公司竞争? 所以我努力去认真考察这五个因素在公司中的影响。 我考察了100家创意实验室下的公司, 还有100家非创意实验室下的公司, 试图提出一些科学的东西。
So first, on these Idealab panies, the top five panies -- Citysearch, CarsDirect, GoTo, Zero, Tickets. -- those all became billion-dollar successes. And the five panies on the bottom -- Z., Insider Pages, MyLife, Desktop Factory, Peoplelink -- we all had high hopes for, but didnt succeed.So I tried to rank across all of those attributes how I felt those panies scored on each of those dimensions. And then for non-Idealab panies, I looked at wild successes, like Airbnb and Instagram and Uber and Youtube and LinkedIn.
首先,在这些创意实验公司里,排在前面的五家公司 Citysearch ,CarsDirct, GoTo, Zero, Tickets. 最后都成为了十亿美元以上的成功公司 而下面的五家公司 Z., Insider Pages, MyLife,Desktop Factory, Peoplelink 我们曾寄以重望,但没有成功。 所以我试图就这些公司在每个因素中的得分,给它们排序。 然后对于非创意实验公司,我关注极度的成功者, 像Airbnb,Instagram, Uber ,YouTube ,Linkedln
And some failures: Webvan, Kozmo, Pets. Flooz and Friendster. The bottom panies had intense funding, they even had business models in some cases, but they didnt succeed. I tried to look at what factors actually accounted the most for success and failure across all of these panies, and the results really surprised me.The number one thing was timing.
还有一些失败的案例,Webvan,Kozmo,Pets. Flooz 和 Friendster 垫底的公司都有雄厚的资金 一些案例甚至有商业模式在里面 但是,他们并没有成功。
我尝试考察在这些成功和失败的案例中 到底什么因素真的最重要 结果让我大吃一惊 最重要的是时机,
Timing accounted for 42 percent of the difference between success and failure. Team and execution came in second, and the idea, the differentiability of the idea, the uniqueness of the idea, that actually came in third.Now, this isnt absolutely definitive, its not to say that the idea isnt important, but it very much surprised me that the idea wasnt the most important thing. Sometimes it mattered more when it was actually timed.The last two, business model and funding, made sense to me actually.
在解释成功和失败的差异中时机占42% 团队和执行力排在次位 然后是创意 创意的差异,或者说创意的独特性 实际上排在第三位 它不是决定性的不是说创意不重要 但创意不是最重要的,这还是让我惊讶 有时候更重要的是它是否恰对时机 最末尾的两项,商业模式和资金,实际上对我意义深远
I think business model makes sense to be that low because you can start out without a business model and add one later if your customers are demanding what youre creating. And funding, I think as well, if youre underfunded at first but youre gaining traction, especially in todays age, its very, very easy to get intense funding.
我认为商业模式 之所以不那么重要 是因为没有商业模式,你也可以创业 要是你的客户正需要你的创新时,更是如此 至于资金,我认为也一样 如果你一开始资金不足然而却可以不断发展 实际上今天的时代 要想得到大量的资金真的非常非常的容易 那现在让我针对每个方面举一些具体的事例
So now let me give you some specific examples about each of these. So take a wild success like Airbnb that everybody knows about. Well, that pany was famously passed on by many smart investors because people thought, No ones going to rent out a space in their home to a stranger. Of course, people proved that wrong. But one of the reasons it succeeded, aside from a good business model, a good idea, great execution, is the timing.That pany came out right during the height of the recession when people really needed extra money, and that maybe helped people overe their objection to renting out their own home to a stranger.Same thing with Uber.
就以家耳熟能详的Airbnb为例吧 这家公司一开始曾被很多投资者pass掉了 因为大家觉得 没人会腾出家里的一块地方出租给陌生人 当然,后来证明大家是错的 但是它成功的一个原因 除了好的商业模式,好创意,强大的执行力之外 就是时机 就在经济危机的最高潮时,该公司出现了.这时人们真的很需要挣点外快 这或许帮助人们克服了要把自己的 房间出租给一个陌生人的障碍 对于Uber,情况相同
Uber came out, incredible pany, incredible business model, great execution, too. But the timing was so perfect for their need to get drivers into the system. Drivers were looking for extra money; it was very, very important.Some of our early successes, Citysearch, came out when people needed web pages. GoTo., which we announced actually at TED in 1998, was when panies were looking for cost-effective ways to get traffic.
Uber的诞生 难以置信的公司,难以置信的商业模式 也有强大的执行力 但当它们需要拉司机进入到这个体系时 时机恰好是那么完美 司机们正需要挣外快,这点至关重要 我们早期的一些成功范例,像Citysearch城市搜索,就在大家需要网页的时候诞生了GoTo.,这个我们早在1998年就在Ted上说过 是在公司寻找划算的获得流量的方法时诞生的
We thought the idea was so great, but actually, the timing was probably maybe more important. And then some of our failures. We started a pany called Z., it was an online entertainment pany. We were so excited about it -- we raised enough money, we had a great business model, we even signed incredibly great Hollywood talent to join the pany. But broadband peration was too low in 1999-2000. It was too hard to watch video content online, you had to put codecs in your browser and do all this stuff, and the pany eventually went out of business in 2003.
我们曾经认为创意是那么重要 然而实际上,时机或许更重要些 然后是一些失败的例子 我们曾创立过一个叫Z.的线上娱乐公司 我们对此满怀期待 我们筹集了大量的资金,我们有一个很棒的商业模式 甚至我们还将伟大的好莱坞天才们签进公司 但1999到2000年的宽带普及程度实在太低 要想在网上看视频太困难了 你不得不向浏览器加入多媒体数字信号编解码器,要加入所有编解码器, 最后这家公司最终在2003年退出了市场
Just two years later, when the codec problem was solved by Adobe Flash and when broadband peration crossed 50 percent in America, YouTube was perfectly timed. Great idea, but unbelievable timing. In fact, YouTube didnt even he a business model when it first started. It wasnt even certain that that would work out. But that was beautifully, beautifully timed.
仅仅在两年之后,当Adobe flash 解决了编解码问题 并且全美的宽带普及度达到50%后 YouTube正中时机 好的创意,不可思议的时机 事实上,YouTube 一开始都没有一个商业模式 也不确定它是否会成功 但它是如此漂亮地正中时机 所以总结来说,我要说的就是执行力真的很重要 创意很重要
So what I would say, in summary, is execution definitely matters a lot. The idea matters a lot. But timing might matter even more. And the best way to really assess timing is to really look at whether consumers are really ready for what you he to offer them. And to be really, really honest about it, not be in denial about any results that you see, because if you he something you love, you want to push it forward, but you he to be very, very honest about that factor on timing.
是,时机更重要 而真正要去评估时机的最佳方法 就是真的去考察消费者是否真的做好准备 为你所提供的服务做好准备 对此,一定要实事求是 不要否认你所看到的任何结果 因为如果你有喜爱的东西,你会想推动它 但你不得不对时机这个因素非常非常的诚实
As I said earlier, I think startups can change the world and make the world a better place. I hope some of these insights can maybe help you he a slightly higher success ratio, and thus make something great e to the world that wouldnt he happened otherwise.Thank you very much, youve been a great audience.
正如我之前所说,我认为创业公司可以改变世界,让世界更加美好 我希望这些见解 可以帮助你们提高一点点成功的几率 这样就可以给世界带来一点 本不会发生的好的改变 十分感谢,你已经是一名伟大的听众。
