Value is an (new) Emperor
Leaders
This is not another talk about “AI” or “innovation.”
It is a talk about why most companies — including startups — are still playing a game from 10 years ago.
The world is saturated. Code and features have become cheaper. Distribution is harder. Capital is more cautious. Customers are less forgiving. And we still talk about a “feature roadmap” as if it will save anyone.
This talk is a stomp-your-foot wake‑up call: stop confusing motion with progress.
This talk will present a simple, ruthless model:
- "Value wins" — always.
- A product is a set of "value hypotheses".
- A business is a "learning loop" (not a shipping loop).
- In 2026+, the advantage is: "making decisions faster, based on evidence".
This talk is for people who build and finance companies: founders, product leaders, growth, COOs, VCs, and angels.
No technical jargon. Sharp conclusions.
