Ben Horowitz's Formula: Super Entrepreneurs
Ben Horowitz, the entrepreneur and co-founder of the eponymous venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, has a formula for super entrepreneurs:
f = Genius * Courage
Genius means:
Bold creative original idea
Deep critical thinking and understanding of how idea flows to results
Courage means:
Persevering in the face of adversity
Unyielding determination to succeed
Genius without Courage isn’t enough; and Courage without Genius isn’t enough.
It’s the combined presence of the two that catapults one into a high potential entrepreneur.
Now, pause and ask.
How many such hidden super entrepreneurs are out there in the world?
100s… 1,000s… 10,000s… 100,000s… perhaps more?
The actual number is probably pretty large, but that’s not the point.
The key point is that the leveling and disintermediating effect of the Internet means we can discover and unleash exponentially more Horowitz-grade super entrepreneurs than at any other point in human history.
Now just think where that would lead.
