How Startups Eat Enterprises
Data Driven Investor
September 22, 2023
Startups and enterprises are like two different species. Much like contrasting animals in the wild, they each have unique strategies, behaviors, and evolutionary paths that lead them to different outcomes. While one prowls untamed territories, the other thrives within the established boundaries of the jungle. This divergence is what eventually reshapes industries, markets, and our narratives.
I wrote for Data Driven Investor to explore the contrast in philosophies of startups and enterprises, and how these differences aren’t merely a matter of scale but a fundamental shift in approach. Both operate with a differential risk calculus and economic rationales shaping their behaviors, at the end creating alternatives in the world.

The Barter of Data - How Consumers Value this exchange
Medium
September 08, 2023
A subtle yet profound barter unfolds every day. It's a barter that's neither marked by cash nor coins but by something far more valuable — data. Yes, the data we generate with each click, like, share, and swipe. It's a quiet exchange, often unnoticed, between consumers and businesses.
In this article, we explore the journey of data capture - from the early days of the internet to the data-driven world we now inhabit. And uncover the forces that shape the consumer perception of value in this digital exchange.

Generative AI - Why most companies will settle for too little..
Linkedin
August 01, 2023
In the late 1800s photography was predominantly practiced by individuals. The invention of the Kodak camera by George Eastman in 1888 made photography convenient and accessible to the masses.
Most of the photography industry was fixated on selling cameras and films to individuals for personal use. Companies, however, failed to grasp the range of opportunities and the transformative impact that photography could have on various industries such as journalism, advertising, fashion, and documentation. That shift occurred only much later and often through an 'outsider', who wasn’t a part of the industry yet.
That’s the moment today with generative AI.
Much like in the 1800s, when companies overlooked the potential impact of photography beyond personal use, today’s businesses must recognize what this capability means to them.
In this article, I look at some of the challenges facing companies in discovering the full range of opportunities to create value with gen AI, and offer thoughts on what should be done to work through those.
