      Overview

      In The Venture Mindset (2024), Stanford professor Ilya Strebulaev and technology executive Alex Dang explore the principles and practices distinguishing venture capital from traditional corporate thinking. Strebulaev and Dang emphasize the importance of risk-taking, long-term thinking, and flexibility, contrasting the Venture Mindset with traditional approaches that stifle innovation. They discuss the significance of betting on the right people, accepting failure, having diverse networks, and making informed, quick decisions. They aim to help leaders apply these principles, showing that even traditional environments can benefit from the Venture Mindset.

      Bet on Boldness

      In November 2012, venture capitalists Sachin Deshpande, Patrick Eggen, and Nagraj Kashyap considered investing $500,000 in Saasbee, a startup aiming to revolutionize videoconferencing. Introduced by Silicon Valley angel investor Bill Tai, Kashyap met Saasbee’s founder, Eric Yuan, who previously worked at WebEx. There was tough competition from WebEx, Skype, Google Hangouts, and others, but Yuan claimed his product was superior.

      Deshpande, impressed by Yuan’s knowledge and the product’s performance, invested $5 million. Eggen, also impressed, saw Yuan as a technical virtuoso with sales skills.
