I will always remember his pre-speech pep talk: “Dyer, your entire net worth rides on not screwing this up.” The youngest of the litter has been busy tuning a very attractive general idea into a very specific and more IP-based product offering. I got the message. But, credit is due to all these CEO’s for perseverance.

It would not be a big stretch to image a well run service business like this making 15-25% net profit margins. You own the IP you create. My advice wasn’t to shut down all product / IP initiatives but rather to be clear on their purpose and how to monetize them. That is $12 million in profits over 3 years.

The book dedicates quite a few pages to the ‘customer-centric stack’ and argues that because you’re now able to know when someone is in the market for a solution like yours [via IP lookup or 1st or 3rd party intent data], you don’t need to “spam” them. Reverse IP Lookup. This is where you’ll see more ABM plays.

Instead, startup legal documents are a safety net. What if your startup’s rockstar developer claims ownership of the startup’s IP? What if a co-founder decides to bolt? Good startup legal documents make sure your startup doesn’t free fall to the ground (i.e., vesting schedule and company repurchase option ).
