Book • 2018
Blitzscaling is a high-risk, high-reward strategy that prioritizes speed over efficiency in the face of uncertainty.

The book, written by Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh, draws on their experiences scaling startups into billion-dollar businesses and provides a framework that can be applied in any region or industry.
It emphasizes the importance of positive feedback loops, competitive advantage, and the ability to adapt and manage through different stages of scaling.
