Qasar Younis built Applied Intuition into a $15B company. Here are a few of the contrarian moves he’s made to get there: 1. Find a co-founder before you pick a problem to solve. “I really believe finding a co-founder has to come first. If you have an idea then find a co-founder, they’re really just a glorified employee. They weren’t there for the birthing of the idea, so the idea probably isn’t as tied to their skills,” he says. 2. Treat compensation like stock. Applied Intuition has been profitable since its early days. Qasar attributes this to a disciplined comp strategy: Keep salaries and equities low to start, and increase as the value of the company goes up. “The vast majority of our employees are now at the 99th percentile of compensation, but not because of their first offer. They’re there because the stock price grew. That’s the right way to do it.” 3. Hard work compounds. Qasar has worked seven days a week for as long as he can remember. He says there’s real leverage in working incrementally more each week: “Just work 10 extra hours per week, and that compounds in significant ways. On an annual basis, that becomes three extra months.” Read here for a deep dive on Applied Intuition’s path to product-market fit: https://lnkd.in/eRut9yCf

Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis on choosing between being a founder and a VC: “[Being a VC is] a cerebral job. And fundamentally what a VC does is you buy and sell stock.” “As a founder, you have to love product and you have to love team building.” “You have to figure out if you’re trying to make this decision, 'should I be a VC or should I be a founder?' Which one of those things resonates with you more?”
