It reminds me of this video (http://eclips.cornell.edu/search?querytext=bootstrapping&id=id&clipID=8049&tab=TabClipPage) and it makes an interesting point.

I think that people don’t always think these things through as they start their companies.

This is extremely timely for me and more or less matches where my thinking has been headed based on my experiences with a company over the last year.

I think that too few startup founders appreciate that the optimal approach (at least for themselves) is running a series of experiments. I think of this a bit like the agile approach to software deveopment. More iterations (experiments) with shorter time periods generally yield better results. I think startups are the same way.

Show me a startup that can make a high volume of small mistakes cheaper than others, and I’ll show you a startup that is more likely to succeed.
