Want to win at entrepreneurship?

Brains and connections aren't enough.

The most important trait is often overlooked.

Take it from Sam Altman:

Based on external credit card panel data, TikTok Shop is doing an estimated $70M in weekly U.S. GMV.

This puts them at a $3.6B annualized run rate, growing an average of 150% MoM since launch.

...and they are still at just 20% of Temu's scale in the U.S.!

Tech isn't a maverick industry anymore.

This doesn’t mean you should play it safe—it means that investing your time in the early stages is more important than it used to be.

Good ideas aren't enough—you need great ones.
