Five Lessons From Bezos On What To Do (And Not Do) When Leading A Startup
Forbes
Vedi pubblicazioneMovies about great entrepreneurs often inspire, even if they occasionally don’t tell the whole truth. But I think they always provide valuable learning examples for budding entrepreneurs, and the film Bezos: The Beginning is no exception. Based on Bezos’s story depicted in the movie, I can highlight five important pieces of advice that I give to founders.

Verb Ventures was built to back platforms that bring transparency to opaque markets global trade relies on. Aviation aftermarket is a perfect case — airlines spend $40B on parts yearly while carrying $50B in excess inventory with zero centralised visibility. What convinced us on SkySelect wasn't the tech alone — it was the customer pull. The status quo is failing airlines, and adoption is accelerating. Proud to co-lead alongside RockCreek!

Me + Mento VC in one post I’m Alex, founder of Mento.vc. I split my time between Portugal and the US, raising three kids and do love for people and numbers. Background: Previously Director at AltaIR Capital ($600M AUM, 14 unicorns) and angel investor in Miro, Deel, Jeeves and many more. What we do at Mento VC: We back US-based B2B AI startups (Seed/Series A) alongside top-tier firms like Sequoia, a16z, GV, Index and etc. Fund I Performance: - 25+ investments in 2 years (0 write-offs). - 1.5x TVPI & 8.9x median revenue growth in 2024. - 22 of 25 companies have tier-1 co-investors. Our Edge: We are a team of 8 building the fund like a product for our 50+ LPs (founder of unicorns, operators and angels). We use a data-driven model to spot signals, but we win through relationships. We earn our spot on the cap table by being helpful before we invest - helping with hiring, new customers, and strategy. Building something big in AI? DM me - let’s connect early.

The Brex / Capital One $5.15Bn acquisition is a huge deal and should be celebrated. How did they do it? I've studied their culture by interviewing Henrique Dubugras (Co-founder), Michael B. Tannenbaum (ex-CFO, Employee #1), and Art L. (CBO, Employee #50). These are 10 important lessons I learned from them. Henrique and Pedro built Brex as teenagers from a house in SF to a generational fintech in 9 years. From a startup card to $100B+ in TPV. Along the way, they created a culture that has already spun out dozens of founders who have raised over $800M+. Here's what I learned on our Fintech Leaders episodes: 1. Your first 10 leadership hires matter more than your first 10 employees. Those leaders create processes and structures that outlast them. Some of Brex's first 10 employees didn't become managers, but the leaders they hired early shaped the culture. 2. Great founders get lucky with great mentors. Henrique's first investor was a payments founder who taught him the entire industry before he really understood it. The right early backer can accelerate your learning curve dramatically. 3. Build everything in-house. A major competitive advantage came from building all their software from scratch. Brex built their own issuer processor because Marqeta and Stripe Issuing were not mature when they launched. That proprietary infrastructure enabled deeper integrations than competitors could ever achieve. 4. Your best culture exists in the edges, not the nodes. Henrique used to think companies were 100% about the people. Now he believes the real value is in the processes, systems, and structures people create. Great companies can survive personnel changes because excellence lives in the connections between people. 5. If you have five priorities, you have zero. Every employee and team has a single OKR. The discipline of extreme focus brought them back to hyper growth after a period of growing pains. 6. Move at an unnaturally fast rate. When someone says they will revert next week, ask why not tomorrow. Analysis paralysis kills momentum. Brex leaders operate with urgency that feels uncomfortable to most people. 7. Listen to your customers. Brex built partnerships with Navan and Zip because 87 customers asked about Navan integration in six months. The biggest strategic moves came directly from customer requests. 8. Land and expand is crucial in enterprise. Large customers do not deploy new vendors to everyone at once. They want to try you in one use-case first. Brex restructured sales comp with longer hold periods so reps would land small and expand later. 9. Promoting from within creates loyalty. Behind every internal promotion, a manager is taking a risk on you. The easiest path is always hiring someone who has done the job before. Backing internal talent is harder but builds something lasting. 10. Dream big is not a cliche. Their audacious goal-setting culture produced a generational company in 9 years. Bravo!
