Vom Startup zum Unicorn 1 🦄: Den Nordstern setzen

26 July 2021, with Florian Heinemann, Joël Kaczmarek and Martin Schilling

Summary

This episode is in German.

The opening episode of the "Vom Startup zum Unicorn" series defines what a unicorn is and asks how a startup can improve its chances of becoming one. The discussion introduces the north star and its six components: purpose, company values, business goals, the north star metric, the customer promise and OKRs. It argues that the concept should replace the older pairing of mission and vision, and also covers why unicorns matter economically and how zebras differ from them.
