3) Amarendra S. begins his review of Part 3/6 of the book "Blitzscaling" (Author Reid Hoffmann & Chris Yeh)
PART 3: STRATEGY INNOVATION
WHEN SHOULD I START TO BLITZSCALE?
Choosing to blitzscale might look like discarding several "normal rules of business":
The authors state:
"Why would you ever want to pursue such a risky and unintuitive course of action? In a word, speed."
"Lightning speed" becomes an imperative when fast market penetration is essential to "achieve massive outcomes."
This is often required even if the business model still needs to be fully resolved. Scaling a proven revenue model is easy; the real blitzscaling game is when you go for rapid scale without a proven revenue model.
For example, even before its revenue model was proven, Slack spent about $17 million for five years before going public. Then it immediately raised another $43 million when it was still on uproven "freemium" model.?
On the other hand, premature blitzcaling can "kill a nascent market". For example, Webvan's blitzcaling failure kept serious players out of grocery delivery space.
