Startup: success formula
... Only the “idea mastered by the masses” of developers, well, if not the masses, then at least some of their best representatives become a “formidable weapon” and acquire a price expression ...
... The inability to take risks together with an amazing desire not only to "chase several hares at the same time", but also to pre-divide the "skins" of those not yet killed and receive an advance payment for them, this is the peculiarity of most CIS start-ups, unlike their American relatives.
The start-up success formula is derived in this article based on a study of the technology of the well-known American business incubator company YCombinator , a wonderful presentation by one of the founders of this company, Paul Graham “How to Start a Startup” paulgraham.com/start.html (not bad Russian translation can be read here ) and my own experience in project management (often positive, but sometimes negative) on both sides of the ocean.
If you use a beautiful metaphor , then YCombinator can be called the “Startup Factory”. However, unlike its almost fabulous antipode , their “factory” is built on a solid foundation of an effective business model, which is based on well-thought-out motivational mechanisms. I first mentioned this company at the beginning of the year in my “ God bless America?” I mentioned, however, indirectly, when I spoke about the success of a reddit startup launched into orbit using YCombinator. Somewhere in the middle of the year I talked about the company in more detail in the article “ Curved mirrors of a business plan ”. Now you can find a mention of the technology YCombinator'a in a variety of Russian-language sources.

Well, now let's get to the formula itself ...
Success_state = k1 * idea + k2 * author + k3 * developers + k4 * management + k5 * money + k6 * fortune ,
where: K1 - K6 - weights ,
idea, author , etc. - the variable components of success, represented by the corresponding quality parameters (in the ranges of values that can be designated as poor quality and good quality with subranges: moderately good and very good ),
the developers ( development team) and the manager are further summarized as a team .
If you go back to the previously derived formula for the success of the social web , it is easy to see that the success of a startup is that mysterious function “ something ” that is present there.
In general, the above formula is almost obvious. The main problem, however, is to correctly place the weights and understand what is meant by the quality parameters .
What is a good idea and a good author, good developers and a good manager, good money and even a little about good fortune, as well as the basic tenets of a successful startup, you can read all this in my iTech Bridge blog .
