Story

A startup raised $8M copying the org-chart idea from the show

After Shaan and guest Daniel Gross brainstormed a public, crowdsourced org-chart tool on the pod, a stealth startup called The Org launched doing exactly that and raised $8M from Sequoia and Founders Fund.

“There's actually a startup that came out of Stealth that is doing this after we talked about it. Clearly stole our idea. It's called The Org. They raised $8 million from Sequoia and Founders Fund, and it looks like they're doing exactly this.”

Framework

Modern-day version: same human desire, new tech delivery

Shaan's idea-generation framework: pick something you loved as a kid (Goosebumps, Chuck E. Cheese) and build its modern-day version. Human desires stay constant; technology updates the tools and opens new opportunities. Hooked is Goosebumps over SMS.

“if you're trying to brainstorm ideas, this is one format to think about. What did I love as a kid? What's the modern day version of that?”

Steal thisAsk 'what did I love as a kid?' then rebuild it with today's technology.
