The Experimental Method newsletter is your weekly walkthrough of scientific method applied to business and life.

First three weeks feature Bill Grundfest, founder of Comedy Cellar, Adam Greenfeld, Founder of Formula (FindMyFormula), and Louis Greenstein, Professional Writer for 25+ years

Btw, if you've run a cool experiment and want to get featured, let me know ;D

Sam Altman, ex-president of Y Combinator, investor in AirBNB, Dropbox, Zenefits, Stripe, Reddit, Istacart, Optimizely, Soylent, and founder of OpenAI, wrote an eye-blowing, mind-opening piece last year titled "How to be Successful."

While most of the 13 points gave advice to individuals running businesses, one stood out as highly relevant to businesses themselves.

In fact, it was the very first point...

thanks fireattack :D

Well, learned some new things today and now I'm better for it

Have a great weekend

Same post on Medium for those of you using Windows 7:

US too... which is where I'm from: https://www.bea.gov/news/glance https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

What exactly does this mean? Is it typical to assume that "a nice font" is going to break on Windows 7?

thanks for pointing this out... I'll have the devs/design team take a look. Ironically, we just switched from an expensive licensed font to the free Rubik, so I guess we get what we pay for

"50 million different companies" = differentiated

If that many companies can survive in a single space, then that means there's value in granular, incremental differences.

While I agree, most MarTech tries solving the same problem of 'make more money faster'... so does pretty much every SaaS platform or business in general.

As far as feature differences, what would you consider a truly differentiated market? I think there's a spectrum, but most markets are on a continuum more than a discrete number line.

Thoughts?

We're about to launch a SaaS platform into one of the worst economies of all time. But like every startup, we think we've found the holy grail of tech - something that every business will one day consider crucial to their success. To find out what SaaS platforms companies currently find central to their survival and which tech products are considered 'nice-to-have', we asked over 50 founders to tell us. Collectively, they mentioned more than 70 unique platforms, 6 shades of Google, and several software transitions to free tiers or cheaper alternatives.

I can add you in ;)

I asked 40+ founders & artists to define creativity, then analyzed how AI currently handles creative pursuits.
