The One Thing Everyone Knows About Building a Startup is Wrong with Parker Conrad (Rippling)

Ғылым және технология

Parker Conrad has an incredible story. He graduated from Harvard after flunking out, beat testicular cancer at 24, founded three companies, and left two of them. He is the Co-Founder and former CEO at Zenefits, the first all-in-one HR platform that allowed businesses to sign up and manage payroll and benefits online. Today he leads Rippling, the only platform that unifies every employee system across departments to truly automate administrative work, currently valued at $1.35B.
Joining Parker later for Q+A is Josh Constine, the former Editor-At-Large for TechCrunch where he was named the #1 most cited tech journalist 2016-2020 by Techmeme, having been quoted by the NYT and WSJ, and featured on CNN and Good Morning, America. Currently, Josh is a Principal investor at venture capital fund SignalFire, backing early-stage startups with a focus on the creator economy, social apps, remote work, and telehealth.
We are excited to welcome Parker to the Startup Grind Global Stage to share his wisdom on startup success.

    Great points on integrated capabilities being much better for the clients - reduced integration headaches, shared components, common UX, better ROI. In the past, this could only be done through a single heavy platform, which was expensive to on-board and manage. But in today's age, similar integrated capabilities can be delivered with much lighter footprint, using any cloud framework. It requires very good understanding of the broader problem space and long term conviction to solve it - Sinek's Infinite Game theory.

    Good for bootstrap. Challenge is the execution & coordination - do many (integrated) things, with less resources.

    Excellent presentation. But I don't think the idea is contrary at all. Startups are failed not because they are not focused on the SOLUTION spaces, but because they are not focused on MARKET spaces. You can build incredibly complex compound products to deeply researched target markets. The main problem why the startup fails is that they want to CAPTURE ALL THE MARKETS. THEY WANT TO GRAB ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES COMING AT THEIR DOORS. They are not doing proper market validation and technology feasibility and readiness analysis thoroughly. They keep changing the product roadmaps, architecture and adding useless features.( I blame the stupid SCRUM for that).

    Far from a “startup “ , but sap is an example of a company embracing the compound model. Not saying they are great at it , but it’s obvious with their rise offering

    I dont know why this is so contrarian in the west, most of the startups or companies in India china and africa are have a compound structure because of the many loopholes exist in the market, when you start a capany to fix one problem you descover other 10 problems that need to be fixed for your startup to function and survive. This is the reality in high-context markets like the ones i ave mentioned (I am avoiding using the global south tagline )

    As an Indian I say this is so true.. India doesn't have a billion dollar point solution company like Gusto or Salesforce. Instead companies like Zoho tries to be a compound startup.
