Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Sean Parker
by Scott Edward Walker on December 21st, 2011To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series entitled “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we share a favorite video of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics. This week, we again present Sean Parker, a brilliant entrepreneur and visionary; the co-founder of Napster and Plaxo; and the former President of Facebook.
In this interesting, four-minute video, Sean shares some solid advice with a couple of Indian entrepreneurs, including the importance of:
- building “a complete team around what you’re doing”;
- not being “stingy” with equity grants;
- convincing investors and others that “you’re not crazy and can pull this off”; and
- following Steve Jobs’s advice: “I’m succeeding because I have a great team.”
I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks, Scott
