Rob Snyder says stalled startups fail for one of two reasons: they haven't found the person with purchasing power, or they know who it is but are blocking them from buying. Diagnose which one, fix it, and growth accelerates.
One of my friends once told me he stopped checking LinkedIn because he stopped, he stopped wanting to see Series A announcements. It was just like, I can't, like, is, what is going, why isn't this taking off? I've tried a bunch of things. I'm doing a bunch of things and it's not clear how to make this go vertical. It always kind of comes down to two things. It's either you haven't figured out who has pull or you have figured it out and you're doing something to prevent them from buying. And those are the two causes and they, they could, we'd go through both of them, but it's like it's figure out which one of those it is and like attack that immediately. And what you'll see is, okay, cool. That's how, that's the path to, to, if not like, you know, Anthropic's growth curve, it's a path to a way faster growth
