The highest leverage point for #SystemInnovation is redefining the system's goal. A startup doesn't disrupt a market by building a better tool; it disrupts by changing what success means for that entire industry. Are you optimizing for efficiency (old goal) or resilience (new goal)? #StartupStrategy #DonellaMeadows

‘𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽.” Sam Altman’s advice sounds simple, but what really makes an idea good? History shows that most breakthroughs didn’t look “𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱” in the beginning. They looked small. Unclear. Even a little naive. What made the difference wasn’t the idea itself, it was the structure around it. The way it was tested, refined, and scaled into something real. That’s the part we often overlook, the system that gives ideas a chance to prove themselves. It’s why at 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀, our work revolves around helping founders and teams move from potential to proof, not by guessing, but by building, testing, and iterating until things just work.

Validating product–market fit before big investments. Knowing when AI really adds value – and when it doesn’t. Building smooth collaboration with your dev team. Balancing speed, quality, and scalability for long-term success. These are some of the most pressing challenges founders face when turning an idea into a product – and getting them wrong can cost time, money, and momentum. That’s why our team, together with the Swiss Startup Association, is hosting a webinar – “Building Tech Products Right: How to Avoid Costly Pitfalls.” Join us!

Reid Hoffman says that building a startup requires balancing contradictions. You must stay persistent yet flexible, focus on the present while planning long-term. Even if you start small, aim for something huge shoot for the moon, not the hillside.

The Innovation Paradox! Why big companies struggle with innovation? They innovate like big companies. That is, there are a lot of thinkers and very few go-getters and risk takers. Small companies: "Let's try this crazy idea" Big companies: "Let's form a committee to evaluate the feasibility of potentially considering this idea" I have been working with large enterprises to think like startups without losing their scale advantages but not every leader is ready to take the risk and get into the improvised flying thing as depicted below.
