				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Larry Chiang is an instructional humorist and has a JBA (Jedi in Business Administration). He will have you street savvy by Saturday. After a Harvard Law School keynote, Harvard BUSINESS School wrote: “<a href="http://www.harbus.org/2009/What-They-Dont-Teach-4531/" target="_blank">What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School</a>“. He spoke at a <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100201040226/http://bases.stanford.edu/2009/11/02/getting-an-internship-the-entrepreneurial-way-with-larry-chiang/" target="_blank">BASES event</a> by doing <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100201040226/http://bases.stanford.edu/2009/11/11/larry-chiang-bases-11-11-2009/" target="_blank">Q&amp;A via text message</a> and now teaches us on how to use SnapChat to close deals.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cropped-head-shot-no-smile.jpg"><img title="Larry-Chiang" alt="Larry Chiang" src="http://whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cropped-head-shot-no-smile.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a>By </strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100201040226/http://www.amazon.com/What-Teach-Stanford-Business-School/dp/0615301487" target="_blank"><strong>Larry Chiang</strong></a><br /> SnapChat sends shivers up the spine of traditional media. Its a service that deletes texts and pictures once they&#8217;re viewed.</p>
<p> Traditionally, I use new tools to close deals. While I did not form the innovation, &#8220;booty call&#8221;&#8230; I do mentor how to close a deal via voicemail<br /> <a href="http://gigaom.com/2008/02/28/9-tools-to-close-a-deal-via-voicemail/" target="_blank">http://gigaom.com/2008/02/28/<wbr />9-tools-to-close-a-deal-via-<wbr />voicemail/</a><br /> Yes I&#8217;ll use both ends of the tech innovation spectrum</p>
<p> Here is how to close a deal via SnapChat.</p>
<p> -1- Let them give you the bird.</p>
<p> By posting your SnapChat username &#8220;larrychiang&#8221;, people will send you &#8216;the finger&#8217;. The good news is that you will get random sexts ;-P. But that all counts for brand activation. All that counts is getting the conversation going&#8230;</p>
<p> This leads to my next point&#8230;</p>
<p> -2- Kick the Squatter to the Curb</p>
<p> If you&#8217;re like me and are ceo of a super popular consumer Internet site&#8230; Duck9 is currently squatted. Is your brand name getting squatted on too?! Check by typing in a URL<br /> <a href="http://www.SnapChat.com/billgurley" target="_blank">http://www.SnapChat.com/<wbr />billgurley</a><br /> <a href="http://www.SnapChat.com/INSERTnameHERE" target="_blank">http://www.SnapChat.com/<wbr />INSERTnameHERE</a></p>
<p> Text me @<a href="tel:650-283-8008">650-283-8008</a> if emailing SnapChat doesnt work and I&#8217;ll text bill gurley for you. Benchmark invested in SnapChat</p>
<p> -3- Make the Ghostface Killah work and promote your website</p>
<p> Ghostface Killah is the cute ghost logo for SnapChat. It signals that you&#8217;re cool when you add it to your website.</p>
<p> -4- Get a call-to-action</p>
<p> On SnapChat, I tried to pull my playbook from twitter. I use @<a href="tel:650-283-8008">650-283-8008</a> as my Twitter handle<br /> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/650-283-8008" target="_blank">http://www.twitter.com/650-<wbr />283-8008</a></p>
<p> Right now, I&#8217;m using &#8216;duck8009255552&#8242; as our company username. It incorporates the 800#, 1-<a href="tel:800-925-5552">800-925-5552</a>.</p>
<p> -5- Allow your potential &#8220;leads&#8221; to ask any question (that eventually disappears)</p>
<p> I am CEO of a company that mentors people on their FICO score. If VCs ask super stupid questions about their own consumer credit score, you can bet a Kappa Sigma from Michigan will too. So, dumb questions about credit inquiries evaporate into the ether using SnapChat</p>
<p> -6- SuperModels Use SnapChat</p>

<p>Planning to be a future &#8220;accidental entrepreneur&#8221; is street smart and book smart. Purposefully setting the intention to be an accidental entrepreneur mitigates your risk exposure. Lets set an intention to audaciously become a successful accidental entrepreneur with little or no downside risk.</p>
<p>If you were thinking about taking baby steps post SXSW, I am your biatch. Err mentor. Umm, both? Accidental Austinpreneurs of-the-future, leverage the great SXSW keynotes and panels en route to purposefully preparing to be founders.<br />
<strong>Promote or sell something that is in the &#8216;Mainstream Markets&#8217; portion of the &#8220;Tech Product Adoption Cycle&#8221;</strong>.</p>

Its where both pragmatists and conservatives are buying
<p>Yes, you focus on pragmatists buying.<br />
Yes, you focus on conservatives buying.</p>
<p>There is little or no risk. Heck, you are selling someone else&#8217;s product so if they say no to you, they&#8217;re saying someone else&#8217;s product sucks. You just suck at selling <img src='http://www.duck9.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Jk. Lets look at a Stanford Engineering Live Action Case Study from Stanford Engineering ENGR145. Its on Sales Force founded by Marc Benioff.</p>
<p>Pattern replicate Marc Benioff my padawan.</p>
<p>Mr Benioff crossed the chasm from the right. He started an entity that had late adopters salivating for it. He developed a market in the hashtagged area that is literally a vertical.</p>

<p>He used to work at Oracle as a salesperson selling CRM. He started SalesForce to put CRM in the cloud. Do you know who Clara Shih is?! She did the same move when she started Hearsay after directly working for Marc Benioff.</p>

It also executed her bestseller, &#8220;Facebook Era&#8221;.<br />According to my calculations, she has very little at risk cuz its awesome and it crosses the chasm from the right.
<p>Closer to home, Jason Cohen founded WP Engine. He now sells hosting services for wordpress blogs. Although I don&#8217;t think he worked at WordPress, neither did you while you practiced selling for blank- blank company.</p>

<p>- Practice EUBM</p>
<p>Engineer Up a Business Model is EUBM.</p>
<p>Engineers can Engineer Up a Business Model. It works super simply.</p>
<p>Find an old dude executive who doesn’t understand tech that is rich and has a $300k problem.</p>
<p>Again, we want to clearly identify an old dude also known as a “seasoned executive” and get him to reveal a $300k problem. Old rich people can be whispered to like how Cesar Milan, dog whisperer, trains old dogs.</p>
<p>This is what my mentor, Mark McCormack taught me. He taught me how to do deals with old men. He taught me how to structure the risky deal at no risk to them. I will mentor you in a recipe of minutiae as to how to EUBM up a baby business. Baby, Lemonade stand business are technically now &#8220;LCMCC&#8221; (Larry Chiang Mini Company Concept).</p>
<p>As soon as I said EUBM up a LCMCC, I could literally feel 98+% of all y’all check out.</p>
<p>For the 2% still tuned in, here is my cell phone to write down (650-283-8008) and the 23 step recipe EUBM up a LCMCC</p>
<p>************** Recipe for EUBM-ing up a LCMCC **************</p>
<a href="http://austinstartup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/larry-chiang-crosses-innovation-chasm-from-the-right-8.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7399" alt="Get your sliver of a vertical by using LCMCC and EUBM" src="http://austinstartup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/larry-chiang-crosses-innovation-chasm-from-the-right-8-300x224.jpg" width="422" height="315" /></a> Get your sliver of a vertical by using LCMCC and EUBM
<p>EUBM up a LCMCC is open-source. Feel free to execute all 27 steps without attribution.<br />
1- Gather up two other engineers as co-founders.</p>
<p>2- Crash an industry party or conference convention (Recipe =</p>
<p>3- Buy a moleskin for each co-founder</p>
<p>4- Meet old people at VC parties</p>
<p>5- When said old person talks, whip out your moleskin</p>
<p>6- Put pen to paper and scream CAN YOU REPEAT THAT often</p>
<p>7- Remember that old people literally are deaf.</p>
<p>8- Take notes of every little thing they say.</p>
<p>9- Ask &#8220;CAN YOU THINK OF A MILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM??!?&#8221;</p>
<p>10- Talk to at least 35 old rich people here in Silicon Valley. Meet 2-10 later at my YCSS / LCSASU afterparty 9:50pm at 125 Third St, SF CA</p>
<p>11- Follow up via email w all by emailing: SUBJ: your name / 630-705-5555 / VC BBQ invite : Body: “hi PG, I’d this your best email address”</p>
<p>12- Confirm the $300k problem via a request for a 7-10 minute phone call week after next. Old people like phone. Old people like week after next Rich old people are always on “packed before their vacation next week.</p>
<p>13- Execute LCRRM</p>
<p>14- Step one of LCRRM is to reclarify basic uber simple problem</p>
<p>15- Old people are majorly retarded when it comes to tech.</p>
<p>16- Step two of LCRRM is to do a one-way letter of intent. (THIS ENTREPRENEUR TIP IS WORTH THE COST OF ONE YEAR OF TUITION BITCHES. YOU’RE WELCOME)</p>
<p>One way letter of intent leverages</p>
<p>17- Internal Escrow. The money never leaves the old persons hands until their $300k problem is solved</p>
<p>18- Explain what internal escrow is.</p>
<p>19- Re-Explain what internal escrow is but louder. Expect old person to be massively impressed that an engineer can engineer up a solution with zero risk</p>
<p>20- Execute the milestones associated to your one-way letter of intent and internal escrow. You’ve now mastered LCRRM</p>
<p>21- Draft up and Slideshare up a preso called “How to do what Duck9 does without having to hire Duck9″ and speak at conferences</p>
<p>22- Old rich people make decisions in packs and once an old dude has paid you for a tech solution, the next old dude you don’t have to do “internal escrow”</p>
<p>23- Get a waitlist of people wanting to buy your retarded simple solution.</p>
<p>24- Cash checks</p>
<p>25- Talk smack yes, but do not go full douchebag and pass the mentorship along. So yes, teach EUBM up a LCMCC.</p>
<p>BONUS #26. Remember, EUBM up a LCMCC is open-source. Feel free to execute without attribution.<br />
NOTE: Execute only 15-17 of the 26 steps at your own peril because I will fire you as a founder before I am even on your board. I will rehire you back but hate hearing people say, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know that was THAT IMPORTANT&#8221; <img src='http://www.duck9.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  I told you now so I don&#8217;t have to tell you to tell yourself I told you so)<br />
<strong> Start and Stop a Startupie, Lemonade Stand, Baby Business</strong> like Lisa Falzone, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl-fpsmNUYw">Stanford athlete CEO @Stanford Entrepreneurship</a> Week. I call these things LCMCC&#8217;s. You will call them awesome and thank me for it in 12 years when you see me finally getting my MBA, honorarily.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>By Larry Chiang</p>
<p>I study mentorship.</p>
<p>When a mentor is assigned, the mentee mentor dynamic is short-circuited. In school settings the mentor is assigned. Those mentors are often under appreciated by mentees.</p>
<p>In business, I see this also. Many startup incubators have entire pools of assigned mentors that are under utilized.</p>
<p>&#8220;When the student is ready, the teacher appears.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the concept of assigned mentorship, the student isn&#8217;t quite ready. (Or rebellious) Thus, the learning dynamic is short circuited. I messed up my mentor relationship with Augie Garrido. He is a legendary baseball coach at UT. (I was rebellious) I did not mess up my mentor relationship post Augie Garrido: Mark McCormack.</p>
<p>Here are ideas to leverage the &#8216;assigned mentor&#8217; pattern:</p>
<p>-1- Make the student pay a price for access</p>
<p>Students that pay part of their tuition do better in school. Compensate a student to be mentored and you get disastrous results.</p>
<p>In the mentee mentor dynamic, the mentee must be the one &#8220;selling&#8221; themselves as ready for mentorship. It brings me to my next insight</p>
<p>-2- The mentee should &#8220;pay&#8221; for access</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you are a VC and your kid wants to learn to be a conductor/composer. You as a VC could pay 100% of the price. But then your child as the mentee would get short-circuited. Instead, as a VC parent, you should teach your child to reach out via email themselves.</p>
<p>Thus, the &#8216;price&#8217; here is the work of drafting an email, researching the email and the time to send the email.</p>
<p>VC is venture capital.</p>
<p>The VC I&#8217;m referring to is David Hornik.</p>
<p>DISCLOSURE: I pitched Noah Hornik to co-found a fund with me called July Capital. Get it?! It&#8217;s before August :-I</p>
<p>My last point in leveraging Assigned Mentors</p>
<p>-3- Pretend you paid thousands to get your mentor.</p>
<p>Have the mentee write on a notecard: &#8220;ok, I paid Larry Chiang 15k for this class. Now let&#8217;s get that money back&#8221;.</p>
<p>I mean if you paid tuition at that Top 50 engineering school, that&#8217;s true. Keep a journal documenting when you get that return on your $15k.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t think you get your $15k back, you won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s worth 15k, you&#8217;re right.</p>
<p>If you think you can get your $15k back with one really good Gua Gua Guacamole recipe executed in all its technicolor detail, you&#8217;re right.</p>
<p>If you think you can get your $15k back by value addedly hijacking VentureBeat&#8217;s MobileBeat*, you&#8217;re right.</p>
<p>If you think you can get your $15k back by value addedly hijacking DemoMobile&#8217;s** April 17 conference at Mission Bay center, you&#8217;re right.</p>
<p>If you think you can get your $15k back by value addedly hijacking TechCrunch&#8217;s August Capital*** to launch your ENGR145 project, you&#8217;re right.</p>
<p>-4- Pretend you paid $10.oo.</p>
<p>Its scale. The dynamic is the same. In fact, the human brain knows no difference between getting ripped off $15k or 10 bucks. The brain just sees money in jeopardy.</p>
<p>-5- Free books versus 95% subsidized book.</p>
<p>If you want that baseball glove, you have to pay 15%. I know you&#8217;re my 7 year old nephew. If you want that baseball book, you are gonna have to pay 5%.</p>
<p>If you want to attend baseball camp eight summers from now with Augie Garrido (when you&#8217;re 15), you better start saving up buddy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>By Remmy Oxley</p>
<p>I sit in meetings and my skin crawls when I hear, &#8220;My mentor Larry Chiang says we should&#8221;.</p>
<p>What I mean is that I paid to be here. My participation in a syndicated round was due to some on-the-carpet time. Begging while on the carpet, networking at boondoggles and a big ass fund got me into the best rooms&#8230; Now instead of hating Larry Chiang&#8217;s distribution, I&#8217;ll swallow my giant ego and pay homage to the new alpha male of Silicon Valley: Larry Chiang</p>
<p>5 Ways Larry Chiang Stopped Me From Running My YC Funded Startup Into The Ground</p>
<p>-1- We as engineers are loved more as douchie sales people.</p>
<p>Coding has experienced a renaissance. Well, being a tech founder that pitches is sexy. Mentorship marketing at a conference is welcome. Attendees at random Midwest industry conference love an engineer from silicon valley that can &#8216;sell them&#8217; new ideas</p>
<p>-2- We as engineering co-founders should be the ones moderating expert panels</p>
<p>Moderating a panel is what they DO teach at Stanford Engineering.</p>
<p>EMBED <embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eudADPfTWiE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" /></p>
<p>You either get an official panel</p>
<p>EMBED AlwaysOn #MaMoMo Panel</p>
<p>Or do an un Official panel or UnOfficial keynote at midnight like Larry Chiang did and does at SXSW at Midnight.</p>
<p>-3- AfterParties hosted by engineering co-founders are actually dead sexy</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s the fact that hiring developers is harder than getting VC, but parties hosted by nerds are cool.</p>
<p>The board I sit on is using a launch strategy that is afterparty centric. While I hate Larry* Chiang**, I am impressed that we are actually making money at our Launch Party</p>
<p>-4- I&#8217;ll write #5 and #4 via the comments.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m late for a dinner</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>UPDATE: JUNE 5 Office HOURS are SOLD OUT</p>
<p>CHICAGO, Illinois&#8212;- By Larry Chiang</p>
<p>Internet retailers are meeting to conference in McCormack Place.</p>
<p>I, Larry Chiang, will be doing celebrity office hours. Normally, it&#8217;s $22,500/hour but because I support the IRCE community, I am doing 15 minute slots for free! Its because over the years I have met so many great people, mentors and friends. Maximum two slots per person per day. Maximum two employees per company per one IRCE conference.</p>
<p>Sign up via text or twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/6502838008." >http://twitter.com/6502838008.</a> Time slots are June 4. 6:15-8:30am. WESTIN HOTEL</p>
<p>June 4. 8:30-10:30PM HYATT REGENCY</p>
<p>June 5. 6:00PM &#8211; 8:30PM HOUSE OF BLUES.</p>
<p>Be careful crossing Lake Shore Drive to the Hyatt Regency. It&#8217;s a six lane pseudo highway so I recommend not jaywalking.</p>
<p>#frogger.</p>
<p>I will be staying at the Westin on Michigan Ave. Remember the &#8216;who&#8217;s he sleeping with?&#8217; campaign that launched a hotel chain via a piece of hotel furniture?! Yes, I promote beds</p>
<p>Promoting beds and sexy Asian men was considered aggressive back in the day. Now, its par-for-the-course and we are all trying to out Internet Retail each other.</p>
<p>Come to a bay area meet up my friends at Y-combinator&#8217;s FreshPlum are hosting me for. They are all engineers and they came to learn from my Stanford ENGR 145 class. Yeah, I am a supermodel that teaches too.</p>
<p>NOTE: You need an IRCE badge to participate and will be asked to show &#8220;Internet Retailers Conference and Exhibition&#8221; badge or receipt</p>
<p> My Stanford Engineering video boils down 20,000 hours and moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve</p>
