    Zappos started out by walking around to other shoe stores, taking pictures of what was on the shelf, and buying and shipping them from the store when they sold. Pretty brilliant way to get off the ground.

        You posted this one minute after the original tweet & after work hours 🤯 that's some pretty sweet social listening. How many people do you have on your team?

        The silk road started with the founder growing shrooms in his shanty's basement. Lesson: seed your marketplace startup with scrappy supply

        Think about it, it there really another way to create a strong startup? (Ie not lean) EVERY startup founder should take the same approach. Create small and cheap experiments to validate/invalidate your assumptions, especially in the beginning. Then act on what you learned.

        Drop ship for life or until you pivot and hire a guy who bought shoes for Nordstrom.

        the best business to start is one you can unilaterally execute yourself. Imagine if they had just waited for meetings to materialize with suppliers before trying to sell.

        Wow. Goes to show early stage sometimes means doing unscalable things.

        I thought I heard Amazon did something similar. Just backordered everything until they had enough orders to buy a lot.

        I think they sold out early but i'm sure their Amazon stock has increased so its all cool :)
