Principles
due to the fact that start-up is really more of a survival than race, the following things are bare necessity rather than wish or ideal
- Permanent pitching (how dare you having a chat with anybody without turning the conversation towards earthnest?)
- Orchestrate the existing (how to make new things with zero resources? you have to exploit existing solutions by tieing their lose ends into end-to-end process)
- Go where the people and money is (it’s much easier than trying to make the public follow or build a new market)
- Think exponentially, act minimalistically (only this will prevent you from losing creativity, sanity or both)
Meta-activities
these are underlying processes of value creation that we’ll have to monitor and measure untill we learn to perform them naturally in production

Lema 1
The thing that works best for us is peer-to-peer marketing. The make the most of it, we must all work on our personal brands, spread the idea, grow the community and last but not least spark the same motivation in others to gain momentum.
Lema 2
The most effective way of work on big and important tasks is a cooperation where everyone delivers what they can do best but with a limited effort that doesn’t exhust their energy and motivation.
