The Physics of Startups

Most startup advice is a pile of things that worked for someone, once. This show is built on causal relationships, not tactics. Rob Snyder has helped 50+ startups go from $0 to $1M ARR. He's the creator of the PULL framework and author of "The Power of PULL" which explains why customers buy and why some startups scale and others stall. For VC-backed and bootstrapping founders who are tired of advice that sounds smart but doesn't work. More about Rob: https://www.robsnyder.org

  <p>Why do founders waste so much energy thinking about things they can't actually know?</p><p>Rob breaks down his "no speculation rule," the topics he treats as off limits because they waste time without ever being answerable. The three traps: guessing the future, assuming what customers mean, and building abstractions like personas.</p><p><b>Get in touch</b></p><p>Thinking about onboarding team members to PULL or something else?

  The Physics of Enterprise Sales

  Jul 31, 202630 minS0

  <p>Does selling to a Fortune 100 company need a different playbook than selling to a small business?</p><p>Rob's take: enterprise sales runs on the same physics as other deals - you're still looking for one person with PULL. He gets into why procurement isn't actually your buyer, how to spot the person inside a big org who can buy, and why the "project plan to purchase" is where deals quietly stretch from one month to twelve.</p><p><b>Links</b></p><p>Get The Power of PULL:<br/>Amazon: https://amzn.to/48KC1yv<br/>Barnes & Noble...

  Debunking Startup mythology: "Pain Points" (and why they're worthless)

  Jul 17, 202622 minS0

  <p>"The Power of PULL" on Amazon: https://bit.ly/4pm3dKq (Please leave a review!) </p><p><br/></p><p><b>Why do some people with obvious pain points never buy? </b></p><p>Rob explains why founders are often taught to look for the wrong thing. Pain points may create interest, but they don't create purchases. Instead, he introduces the concept of <b>PULL points</b>, the conditions that make a customer unable to delay a project and unable to solve it with their existing options. Use these to stop mistaking enthusiasm for buying intent and start identifying cu...

  <p>How do you know if your startup is actually on track?</p><p>A founder recently asked Rob a simple question: What does good actually look like?
