Deep dives
Startup Capitalism vs. Corporate Capitalism
Startup capitalism fundamentally differs from corporate capitalism as startups create value by changing the subject, persistently compounding their ability to create value. Unlike corporate capitalists who leverage powers like economies of scale or network effects, startups start with nothing and win by denying the premise of the rules, ultimately changing the subject and creating value through pattern-breaking actions.
