But Uri's new book, Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Y54VJFF?) is not the story of Waze. It's not one story about entrepreneurship. It's completely an A-to-Z handbook for entrepreneurs with so many specific sections, like:
• How to do a demo,
• How to build a slide deck
• How to make an effective presentation
• How do you evaluate a term sheet?
• What metrics do you use to measure the growth of your company?
• How do you manage investors, fire people, and hire people?
• What deal terms need to be negotiated for the exit?
This is such a valuable guide, it really is, and today's conversation builds upon these principles.
Listen on as Uri & James discuss all of these topics and more, including:
• Waze built its maps using user GPS data, why did the first 1000 users download Waze? (00:11:22)
• The 4 Stages of Users: Innovators -＞ Early Adopters -＞ Early Majority -＞ Late Majority (00:13:14)
• What percentage of successes are problem-based vs innovation-based? (00:15:46)
• How do you distinguish between your users and your customers? (00:16:50)
• Did Waze ever consider charging subscriptions to the users? (00:18:37)
• What metrics do you look at to see if a business is on the right path? (00:39:25)
• Did Waze ever consider licensing navigation data? (00:47:39)
• Why is it more valuable to talk to customers who don't like you? (00:48:27)
• What are some techniques to cement a good first impression? (00:53:30)
