The Blindside Revolution

“I didn’t see THAT coming…”

How are big industries being

disrupted so easily?

Is it just bad, short-sighted

management, or is there

something more

fundamental

at work?

Knockdowns

The Battle of Trafalgar

1805 ~ 210 years ago

Lord Nelson: 27 ships

Napoleon: 33 ships

Lord Nelson: 17,000 men

Napoleon: 30,000 men

British

casualties:

1,500+

Franco-Spanish

casualties:

16,000+

Lord Nelson won the Battle

of Trafalgar by blindsiding

Napoleon’s navy

By hitting a much larger

force at right angles

and at speed

In the industrial revolution

growth came from

vertical industries

In the technological revolution

growth is coming from

horizontal technologies

Just as Lord Nelson hit

Napoleon’s navy at right angles,

today’s top technologies

are hitting yesterday’s

top industries at

right angles

where-are-Silicon-Valleys-richest-group-of-men-now.html

“We sold PayPal to eBay for $1.5

billion in 2002.

Since then, Elon Musk has founded

SpaceX and co-founded Tesla

Motors; Reid Hoffman co-founded

LinkedIn; Steve Chen, Chad Hurley,

and Jawed Karim together founded

YouTube; Jeremy Stoppelman and

Russel Simmons founded Yelp;

David Sacks co-founded Yammer;

and I co-founded Palantir.

Today all seven of those companies

are worth more than $1 billion

each.” - Peter Thiel

http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/25/y-combinator-13-7b-valuation/

Of the 511 companies that had passed through

YC prior to its most recent Summer 2013 class,

306 had valuations tied to them. The total value

of those companies is now $13.7 billion, up $2

billion since Graham’s last update on the

number in June.

A number of YC companies have also raised

additional rounds of funding in the past several

months. Twitch (formerly Justin.tv) raised $20

million, E La Carte raised $13.5 million, Clustrix

raised $10 million, and Instacart brought on $8.5

million, among others.
