25 Lessons in 25 Years


Listen Later

Episode 98: I’m going to be breaking down a 45-minute video by one of the greatest startup minds of all-time, who quite possibly, you’ve never heard of. Bill Gross is the Founder of IdeaLab, considered by many to be the world’s first venture studio. Modeled after Thomas Edison’s Lab, a place where many ideas and inventions can be tested under one roof, IdeaLab went on to find 5,000 ideas, launch 150 companies, and successfully IPO or exit 50 businesses. The business hit its 25-year-mark in 2021 and Bill Gross shared an article titled “My 25 lessons learned from 25 years of creating companies,” which is a goldmine for any business builder. I’m going to walk you through all 25 lessons in a way that saves you from watching all 45 minutes, but you still have a sense of why they matter and how to apply them to your company.
