Entrepreneurship research repeatedly finds that there is no clear way to know which early startups will win. Investing in EVERY startup raising 💰 beats a portfolio of 10 startups selected by a VC 75% of the time (& when VCs do better, it is just by a bit) angellist.com/blog/what-ange…

3. Get young people out of these business plan/model/canvas/pitch competitions and get them building stuff.
If business schools spent half as much learning to build stuff as they do in PowerPoint and “validating demand” there would be 100x as many companies.

Brilliant demonstration of the difference between data and the story the data tell. It's one thing to sort, arrange, and visualize data and another thing to make sense of data by putting all the pieces together! 🙏 @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter (via Mónica Rosales Ascencio)

New results on how the different #creativity mechanisms work. You can easily swap e.g. building on others to stimulation, or combining ideas to classifying ideas. They all work. Ideation methods do not need to be rigid. #ADFresearch Find the paper here: doi.org/10.1115/1.4051239
