§04Operating playbookHow the seat actually ran

The deck and the event were the visible part. The durable work was the operating layer underneath, and it ran on a few rules.

Operating rulesStrategy · ops · BD
  1. Fix the unit economics before pitching growth.
  2. Make revenue recurring where the model allows.
  3. Build the pro forma off real numbers.
  4. Run the internal systems weekly.
  5. Keep the investor materials downstream of the real numbers.
