The Single Greatest Business
“My hope and desire for YOU is that you begin to see inefficiencies that others don’t and then create solutions that others won't.”
- Jared Yellin
The SINGLE greatest business is technology - bar none!
I am happy to debate this…
I am open to being proved wrong…
And I am certain I am right!
Because technology is the only business that exists which is built on a framework on LIMITLESS scale.
LIMITLESS scale means…
Users
Financials
Impact
Damn cool if you ask me…
USERS - the number of people on your platform - LIMITLESS!
FINANCIALS - the valuation of your company - LIMITLESS!
IMPACT - the transformation as a result of your product - LIMITLESS!
This is why I encourage EVERYONE who can to invest in tech…
This is why I encourage EVERYONE who can to get behind the curtain of a tech company…
This is why I encourage EVERYONE who can to launch a tech company….
And guess what...
EVERY person on the planet is meant to be a tech entrepreneur…
I don’t care how technical you are…
I don’t care about your socio economic status…
I don’t care about your business savviness....
All that I care about is your ability to SEE inefficiency and then to think about what you wish you could do - but currently can’t!
Before I share the steps on what it takes to become a TECH entrepreneur, I want you to realize why I am uniquely qualified to explain this process…
I am a Non-Technical Founder of a Tech Company called SYNDUIT…
If you don’t know our story - click here to read about it - but the synopsis is this…
Outsourced development - over budget by $1,500,000
Built an internal team and then setup a company in India to employ the team
Scaled SYNDUIT to 40,000+ users across 30 industries without any investment
Became obsolete at SYNDUIT in 2020
Okay, now let’s dig into why I am the most relevant person on the planet to share exactly what you need to do in order to become the TECH FOUNDER that you are meant to be…
In 2020, I launched CILA Labs with Mani Soundarajan with the mission of launching 10,000 tech companies by 2031.
CILA is a tech incubator that is unlike any tech incubator in the world because we have people approach us with IDEAS on NAPKINS and we assess each person/idea in the following way…
1 - Is the PERSON right?
2 - Is the IDEA right?
3 - Is there too much COMPETITION?
4 - Is there a clear path to SCALE?
If we get YES - YES - YES - YES then we launch a company with this person, share equity in this new entity, and CILA will build the entire company at cost.
Software development
Go-To-Market
Scale
Sales
Customer Support
Branding
Administrative
Etc.
All of the above AT cost and 97% of our cost is in India so we are able to launch tech companies for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the actual cost.
In less than 7-months, we have had almost 400 pitches and we have said yes to 40+ tech companies…
YES, we have launched 40+ napkin ideas in the past 7-months…
There is more to the CILA story which can be found here, but I share this because I am VERY uniquely qualified to explain what we would look for and if we SAY YES - this means you become the tech entrepreneur that you were always meant to be…
So here we go - the GOLDEN three questions…
Question 1 - What do you wish you can do, but you currently can't (aka inefficiency in your life/business?
Question 2 - If this inefficiency did not exist, what would you be able to do?
Question 3 - How would you solve this inefficiency to the best of your ability?
Let me give you the PERFECT responses to these questions from Chantelle V, Co-Founder of Carli.ai - CILA Labs Portfolio Company.
Question 1 - What do you wish you can do, but you currently can't (aka inefficiency in your life/business?
I wish I was able to get notified in real-time or even at all whenever someone posted something relevant inside of any Facebook group that I am a member of.
Question 2 - If this inefficiency did not exist, what would you be able to do (aka ideal outcome)?
Well, first off, I would save HOURS a day because I would no longer need to sift or sort through Facebook to find the needle of value in the haystack of distraction. In addition, I would be able to promptly reply in specific threads in order to get business. And now that I think about it, I would be able to exponentially increase the engagement rate in my groups.
Question 3 - How would you solve this inefficiency to the best of your ability (aka the product/service)?
I would have an app that would run inside of all Facebook Groups where I am a member and it would notify me whenever a keyword that I added to the app was used.
These questions were the driving force for us to say YES to partner with Chantelle (besides the fact that our entire team LOVES her and wants her to WIN badly), but just so you can see…
NO technical responses…
NO lengthy business plan…
NO hiring a consultant to help craft the person's response…
Chantelle - like you - was able to explain the inefficiency, what she wishes she could do, and how she would solve the inefficiency.
And now she is a TECH FOUNDER!!!
A Texting Thread That Epitomizes HOW To Get Into Tech As A Founder
This past weekend I was texting with a dear friend and Founding Member of IDEA Squad, Alithia G.
In the thread, she was ideating ways to GO-TO-MARKET with her new IDEA Squad Powered by CILA Labs business opportunity
These were her questions…
What are some comparable companies you aspire to have inside of CILA Labs?
What are the unicorn companies you admire?
Who are the top three tech companies in your opinion?
My response was this…
“Truthfully, I have no idea how to answer this NOR do I want to because it will send you in all of the wrong places when looking to meet people with BIG IDEAS. The simplest way to put it is this…
I want people who KNOW of an inefficiency and they have a burning desire/calling to solve it.”
This response is why I say - EVERYONE is a TECH ENTREPRENEUR!
And like I said before…
I don’t care how technical you are…
I don’t care about your socio economic status…
I don’t care about your business savviness....
When I first got into this world - I had no money, zero technical know-how, and I was YOUNG (so minimal life experience and VERY minimal business experience)...
But what I had was an inefficiency, an ideal outcome, and a vision for solving it…
And guess what I did…
I DID IT!!!
And so can you…
YES, you probably don’t have the resources to do it on your own…
YES, you probably don’t have the technological background to build it on your own…
YES, you probably don’t have the desire to get after something so audacious on your own…
But that’s okay - CILA Labs is here to save the day!
All that you need are three things…
1 - Communicate the inefficiency
2 - Share the ideal outcome which is currently unfeasible
3 - Explain how you would solve this challenge
And once you are able to do this - please please please head over to www.cilapartner.com and complete the form so we can speak because CILA is committed to eliminating at least one efficiency for every person on the planet.
We are excited to partner with you when the time, idea, and you are ready!
Live with Intention,
