"Un giorno potrebbe capitarti di finire sui giornali di tutto il mondo perché accetti pagamenti alternativi per i tuoi prodotti. Chissà se ci hai mai pensato". Uno strabiliante, appassionato e vulcanico Matteo Pittarello, racconta la sua visione su come è iniziata la strada che ha portato "This Is Not A Sushi Bar", la catena di ristoranti più unconventional di Milano, sui giornali di tutto il mondo perché è stato il primo ristorante ad accettare pagamenti in follower. Lo fa attraverso le storie dei fondatori e di chi l'ha fatta crescere dal 2007 ad oggi.

Questo testo è nato per riempire un vuoto: quasi tutta la letteratura italiana sulle startup, oggi, è un fritto misto retorico che sembra avere come unico scopo quello di spingere giovani e meno giovani a darsi in pasto al mercato senza le giuste precauzioni. I nuovi startupper sono convinti di cadere sul morbido dell'idea che è venuta loro mentre erano al pub con gli amici, salvo poi schiantarsi al primo semestre tra Iva e contributi. E poi ci sono quelli che sanno di doverci mettere tutto l'impegno del mondo, ma a cui nessuno, finora, ha detto che potrebbe non bastare.

Certes, passer du "pourquoi ?" au "pourquoi pas ?" procure suffisamment de jubilation pour que chacun contamine son entourage sans inutiles scrupules. Mais cela n'est rien encore. Philippe Verhaeghe nous gratifie aussi du "comment ?". La créativité est d'abord affaire de méthode. La créativité est ensuite le ressort de l'innovation.

"Si j'avais demandé à mes clients ce qu'ils voulaient, ils m’auraient répondu 'des chevaux plus rapides' ", disait Henry Ford. Comme quoi, on ne doit pas aborder son marché à partir de clichés comme l'a peut-être fait Kodak. La compétition mondiale avait pour objet la détention des capitaux. Mais aujourd'hui c'est plutôt la culture des idées qui permet de se développer. Il s'agit de générer régulièrement des idées rupturistes.

Funding falls apart. A similar product is unveiled by a more established company. A key employee jumps ship to work for a competitor. These are the unexpected obstacles that derail even the most promising new ventures. Entrepreneurs determined to keep up with today's constantly changing business environment need to stay nimble enough to shift their strategies, products, and services on a dime. Yet many fail to master this essential new mind-set: agility.

Traditional businesses follow a simple formula: create a product or service, sell it, collect money. But in the last few years a fundamentally different model has taken root—one in which consumers have more choices, more tools, more information, and more peer-to-peer power. Pioneering entrepreneur Lisa Gansky calls it the Mesh and reveals why it will dominate the future of business.

It's become an article of faith that American entrepreneurship is in trouble. The problems are many: lack of capital, too few entrepreneurial immigrants, excessive regulation, an aging population, slowing population growth, and rising student debt. But while experts across the country debate the causes and propose solutions, Scott Shane explains that the data just do not fit. Dismantling each of the most widely accepted theories in turn, he persuasively demonstrates that - while an evolving market is changing the nature of most startups - entrepreneurship is actually alive and well.
