Larry Chiang hacked the ‘New York Times best seller’ list by pre-promoting blog posts and live, in-real-life events 09-09-09. What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School debuted at NYFW. WTDTYASBS’s avoided book festivals for distribution and instead went direct to Sundance and SXSW for book optioning. As CEO of Duck9, Chiang’s company was built on two mentors: Gerri Detweiler and Mark McCormack. They wrote “Ultimate Credit Handbook” and, “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School“, respectively. This post is about the next Silicon Valley in Palo Alto.

Cities are silly. They all want to be the next Silicon Valley.

Cities are awash in money. They’re standing in trillions in M1 money supply. But yearning for a $300mm fund to HQ there

I’m engineering “Silicon Valley Next”, bcc @BobMetcalfe (I’ll execute these 17) {#SiliconValleyNext runs off #WrightBros‘ methods}
|
|
This is exactly what will be the “Silicon Valley, next”.

1/17 #SiliconValleyNext: You edit. The #WrightBros‘ edited 6 mentors’ work. CS 183 was nice. #cs183e‘s what you #cs183Do

3/17 the basis for #SiliconValleyNext incorporates Midwestern basics. #SiliconValleyNext is actually as old as Dayton Ohio’s #WrightBros

5a/17 #SiliconValleyNext is actually old. Its the concept of a sales engineer. Ya know, the ones that make $200k bc what CS major cold calls

5b/17 #SiliconValleyNext is actually old. It’s commercializing the technologist before they commercialize the tech

5c/17 #SiliconValleyNext is an age old concept. You could never hire a Fortune 500, vp of sales, for a startup. Founders had to sell

6/17 #SiliconValleyNext needs an incredibly innovative university. That would be Stanford University, pulling away from the pack.

9/17 #SiliconValleyNext is realizing VC short-circuits. Literally. Credit as a form of capital is 100,000,000x any LP fund #SelfFundSellFun

11/17 #SiliconValleyNext is all upside. No risk. We didn’t get an engr degree, learn Pro sales skills just to be in the 95 casualty rate. 0%

13/17 #SiliconValleyNext won’t be getting executed by your region :-0 While the idea is real and awesome. The idea is 0. It’s the execution.

15/17 #SiliconValleyNext has about 22 “signature business recipes”. I got em from a 1983 book #WTDTYAHBS. Repackaged as #GuaGuaGuacamole

17/17 #SiliconValleyNext is about EDITING a startup that never crossed The Chasm. #dttdsBHM is painful. So, cross (from the Rt) #CTCFTR
