Today, multiple major waves seem to be arriving simultaneously — technologies like the cloud, AI, AR/ VR, not to mention more esoteric projects like supersonic planes and hyperloops. What’s more, rather than being concentrated narrowly in a personal computer industry that was essentially a niche market, today’s new technologies impact nearly every part of the economy, creating many new opportunities. This trend holds tremendous promise. Precision medicine will use computing power to revolutionize health care. Smart grids use software to dramatically improve power efficiency and enable the spread of renewable energy sources like solar roofs. And computational biology might allow us to improve life itself. Blitzscaling can help these advances spread and magnify their sorely needed impact.

Additional quotes by Reid Hoffman

You should want your employees to be discoverable by the outside world in a professional context. They’re discoverable anyway, thanks to Google and social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, so you should incentivize them to craft their presence in a way that’s maximally helpful to the company.

This is a crossroads many entrepreneurs will recognize. Entrepreneurs always have to solve side problems along the way to realizing their original vision. And every so often, you solve a problem that’s so vexing and so prevalent that your side solution becomes more valuable than your original idea.
