Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman
The Lightning-fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies
In the networked age of the 21st century, we've all witnessed the tech giants of Silicon Valley take the world by storm. Having grown one such business (LinkedIn) himself, and having invested in a number of others, Reid Hoffman is perfectly positioned to explain the architecture of the rapid growth these companies enjoyed. In order to "blitzscale," you must be willing to sacrifice efficiency in favor of speed in the face of uncertainty. As you crystallize your unique market opportunity, it is more dangerous to capture market share slowly and safely than it is to move at breakneck speed. Blitzscaling requires constant innovation, iteration, and risk-taking, but the rewards in the corporate world are extraordinary.
