Learn how a scrappy Silicon Valley startup brought down Blockbuster and built one of the world’s best known brands.
Netflix Founder and startup CEO Marc Randolph shares the unlikely story of how a handful of dreamers with no money and a bad idea, created the company that eventually brought down Blockbuster. Packed with dozens of stories that trace the dramatic ups and downs of those first exciting years, Marc weaves an inspiring story that shows the value of innovation, persistence and optimism. Along the way he shares some of the many values that he believe made Netflix successful, including a focus on analytics and testing, its novel corporate culture, and it’s almost fanatical obsession with focus. Equal parts inspiration, start up story, and practical tips, it’s a message that resonates well with anyone who appreciates a good “overcoming adversity” story.
Marc Randolph is a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, who in 1996 founded the online movie and television streaming service Netflix. Although best known for starting Netflix, Marc’s career as an entrepreneur actually spans more than four decades. He’s been a founder of more than half a dozen other successful start-ups, a mentor to scores of early stage entrepreneurs, and an investor in numerous successful tech ventures (and an even larger number of unsuccessful ones).
Marc’s general themes are strongly entrepreneurial but his message resonates just as well with corporate CEOs as it does with students and early stage entrepreneurs. His experience as a six-time founder allows him to speak with authority not only about how companies get started, but about how businesses of any size can better foster innovation and more effectively turn ideas into realities.
His presentations are a blend of inspiration (overcoming adversity / anyone can do it), stories drawn from starting and growing of Netflix, plus scores of tips and examples gleaned from his 4 decades helping hundreds of entrepreneurs make their dreams come true.
Whether it’s an audience of 10 or 10,000, Marc will ensure that your group is amused, inspired and informed.
