Just caught the Two-Sided podcast with Jose Marin from FJ Labs - brilliant stuff! As someone building in the marketplace space with Markko, loved hearing his take on where the industry's heading. Particularly spot-on about the opportunities in niche markets beyond the Amazon behemoth. A few key takeaways: 1. FJ Labs has built a network effect in deal flow - 200+ deals/week! Their complementary approach to other investors is genius. 2. B2B marketplaces are still a massive opportunity. We're just scratching the surface in digitalizing traditional industries. 3. Cross-border commerce is finally becoming a reality. Companies like Vinted are showing how it's done. 4. For early-stage founders: validate ideas from personal pain points, be disciplined in proving/disproving hypotheses, and prioritise capital efficiency even in good times. 5. There's still plenty of room for innovation in marketplaces. We are seeing this ourselves with the client onboarding through our Markko Labs accelerator. 6. Verticaliation continues to unlock new opportunities (Reverb's success in musical instruments is a great example). As we navigate the evolving marketplace landscape, it's crucial to stay informed about these trends.

Interesting listen, especially the part about focusing *not* on planning and instead on strategy and rituals.

I’m in my “forced to take a step back” era of being a founder. Every founder hits a stage where you're trying to execute every new idea in your head and you get caught up in that momentum. I did. With how fast Platter has grown in the last 3 months alone, our momentum has been amazing. We’re: → Launching a new product → Expanding the team → Launching our app as a self-serve It's been amazing to see this growth, but I realized we need a lot more structure and strategy going into this next phase of the business. When we were less than 15 people on the team, we had the flexibility to be more cowboy in our approach. Now with 23+, we need better communication and KPI tracking. That step back reminded me it’s not just me and my co-founders in a basement anymore. You have to reevaluate where you are to get where you want to be: ? Is every step of the ladder leading to the same goal?? ? Or are you trying to play a different game each step? With what we’re cooking, it’s more important than ever to put actual coordination and processes in place to get things done the right way. So here’s your reminder: take a step back, evaluate what you actually need at a high level, so you can make the most on each step of the ladder. Excited for what’s to come. ?? What stage are you in?

Graham McNicoll shares a candid story from his past where engineering hubris led to a 3-year journey building an A/B testing platform - and the unexpected lessons that birthed GrowthBook. some take aways: - the challenges faced by data-driven companies when scaling experimentation - parallels between physics research rigor and product metrics analysis - how to capture institutional knowledge before it walks out the door ??

I had fun chatting with?Mang-Git Ng?about the founding of?GrowthBook?and why building your own A/B testing platform often feels inevitable—but it is rarely worth your time. Mang-Git asked great questions about the build vs. buy dilemma and the role open source can play in solving it. If you're curious about?why?we built GrowthBook, give it a listen.
