U-Alexis Ohanian osungule i-capital capital e-Initialized Capital kunye nomhlobo weenjineli, uGarry Tan, ngo-2011 emva kokushiya iReddit.Umdala kaNeville / uCorbis ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Lonke ishishini liza kuba lishishini lesoftware kwixa elizayo. Ukumisa nje ngokupheleleyo, u-Alexis Ohanian, umseki we-Reddit kunye ne-capital capital ye-Initialized Capital, kutsha nje uthe kumnyhadala wokuqalisa eNew York, ecacisa umbono ogcweleyo ogcinwe ngabaninzi ababonisi beSilicon Valley kule mihla ukuba isoftware itya umhlaba .
Kodwa u-Ohanian akazange abe yinjineli yesoftware ngokwakhe-nangowuphi na umgangatho. Xa wayeqala iReddit kwigumbi lokulala kwiYunivesithi yaseVirginia kunye nomhlobo wakhe wasekholejini uSteve Huffman e2005, wayefunda ishishini kunye nembali. Ngombulelo, uHuffman, umdwelisi weprogramu ophambili kwisayensi yekhompyuter, wakwazi ukwenza uninzi lweekhowudi ezifunekayo kuhlobo lokuqala lweReddit, ngelixa u-Ohanian, ngeakhawunti yakhe, ebekhathalela yonke enye into.
Bhalisa kwiNcwadana yeShishini yaBabukeli
Ngo-2006, u-Ohanian wathengisa iReddit kuCondé Nast (ititan yokupapasha ikhutshiwe phakathi $ 10 yezigidi kunye ne-20 yezigidi zeedola kuluntu oluku-intanethi) kwaye waba ngusozigidi ngobusuku obuneminyaka engama-23. Emva kwee-gig ezimbalwa zokuqala kwiminyaka elandelayo-kubandakanya neprojekthi engenzi nzuzo kwilizwe lotatomkhulu waseArmenia- u-Ohanian waseka iqumrhu eliyinkunzi ombutho I-2010 kunye neqabane langaphambili le-Y Combinator uGarry Tan ukugxila kuqaliso mali lokuqala. Inkulumbuso yokuQala yayixhasa kwangoko inani leenkampani zeebhiliyoni zeedola, kubandakanya iCoinbase, i-Instacart kunye neOpendoor, phakathi kwabanye.
U-Ohanian wayengomnye wabacebileyo (kunye nethamsanqa) bambalwa abavuna umvuzo ukusukela kwiintsuku zokuqala zosasazo lwentlalo. Ngaba impumelelo yakhe iyenzeka nanamhlanje-ngakumbi kubantu abanjengo-Ohanian abaneemvelaphi ezingezizo ezobuchwephesha- kwihlabathi apho ukuba nezakhono zokufaka iikhowudi kuye kwanda ukuba yimfuneko yokuqala inkampani?
Impendulo ixubekile. U-Ohanian uvumile ukuba, ukuba ebenokunikwa ithuba lesibini, ebeya kukhetha ukulandela ikhompyuter kwezobuchwephesha kwiikholeji, kodwa wathi isidanga sakhe kubugcisa obunenkululeko simncede ngeendlela ebezingenakwenzeka nge-STEM (inzululwazi, ubuchwepheshe, ubunjineli kunye nemathematics).
Kudliwanondlebe lwakutsha nje noMqwalaseli, umseki we-Reddit oneminyaka engama-35 ubudala uphinde wajonga kwakhona kwiintsuku zakhe ezintle zokuba ngusomashishini okwinqanaba lokuqala, axoxe ngento ayifunayo kubasunguli ngokwembono yomtyali mali, kwaye wabelana ngeengcinga zakhe malunga nendlela umsunguli ongeyena wezobuchwephesha usenokufumana indlela kwihlabathi lanamhlanje lokuqalisa ukhuphiswano lomqala.
Umbonisi: Xa sithetha ngokuqalisa inkampani kwigumbi lokulala ekholejini, uninzi lwabantu lubonisa ngokuzenzekelayo inkqubo engalunganga, umntu ofana noMark Zuckerberg njengoko kubonisiwe Inethiwekhi yokuNxibelelana okanye iphepha lakho leReddit uSteve Huffman. Kodwa ubalulekile ngaphandle kolu tshintsho. UW umnqwazi wawunjani kuwe ukwakha inkampani ye-tech xa wawungekho uqeqesho olusemthethweni kwinkqubo?
U-Ohanian: Uninzi lwabantu lucinga ukuba umsebenzi we-CEO umalunga nobukhazikhazi. Kodwa xa ungumququzeleli kwinkampani ekumgangatho wokuqala, wenza umsebenzi ongathandekiyo. Njenge-CEO, kuya kufuneka uthethathethane nemirhumo yeselfowuni, ukuthatha iodolo, usebenze imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla kwaye wenze konke onako ukuxhasa umququzeleli wezobuchwephesha ukuze akwazi ukugxila kwikhowudi yokubhala. Kwiintsuku zokuqala zeReddit, uSteve wayegxile kwiikhowudi zokubhala, kwaye ndaye ndagxila kuyo yonke enye into-ukuyila iwebhusayithi yethu kunye nelogo yenkampani ukuya kwimicimbi yeshishini, ukuthetha nabathengi, ukuya kwiivenkile kunye nokwenza abantu bazame isoftware yethu. ke sinokufumana uvavanyo olusisiseko lomsebenzisi.
Ezi ntlobo zimbini zabasunguli bacinga njani ngokwahlukileyo? Xa wawunikezela ngombono wemveliso kuSteve, wazi njani ukuba uyasebenza?
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba bendinemvelaphi eyaneleyo yokufaka iikhowudi. Ndisoloko ndisenza iinkqubo ukusukela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo. Bendifunda, nditsho nase college. Ndandingenguye nje umdwelisi weenkqubo, kwaye ndandingacwangcisi ukuba yintloko yekhompyutha kwikholeji kuba ndandinomdla kakhulu kwimbali. Kodwa bendisazi ngokwaneleyo kwaye ndiluncedo ngokwaneleyo ngeFotohop ukwenza imveliso ehlekisayo. Ndaye ndenza isiphelo sangaphambili se-HTML kunye neCSS. Izinto ezisisiseko kakhulu.
Kwakuxa kufikwa kubunjineli boqobo beemveliso apho ingxoxo noSteve yenzekileyo. Ndandinombono wokuba izinto kufuneka zisebenze njani, kwaye, ewe, besiza kuxoxa. Amaqela oyilo ahlala enale mpikiswano. Ekugqibeleni, sasihlala kwinto esinokuyakha, kwaye saqala ukuyakha.
Ngokwenyani, ndicinga ngale nto ngoku njengotyalomali lokuqalisa kwangoko. Sisoloko siba ziinkampani zokuqala zokujonga [zifumana]. Namhlanje, i-Instacart kunye neCoinbase ziinkampani ezizibhiliyoni zeerandi eziqesha amawaka abantu. Kodwa xa beqala-xa sityala imali-babengumsunguli wedwa onesiporotype esirhabaxa. Kodwa oko kwakwanele ukuseta iphupha kwaye uqale ukwakha iqela leengcali ezinokudala zonke izinto kumbono wakho.
Ukuthetha ngokutyala imali, iqabane lakho langoku kwi-Initialized Capital, uGarry Tan, ukwayinjineli yangaphambili. Luhlobo lwemeko efanayo neReddit. Usebenza njani lo mahluko kwicala le-VC?
Ndicinga ukuba izakhono zethu ziyancomeka, kuba sobabini sinemvelaphi yemveliso. Unyanisile, nangona kunjalo. UGarry yinjineli enomdla ngakumbi. Ndinethamsanqa ngokwenene ngeli xesha. Ndinomseki-mbangi ongenguye injineli enetalente ebalaseleyo, kodwa okwaziyo ukuqonda abantu kunye nobudlelwane babantu. Yinto leyo eyenza ukuba lo msebenzi ube lula kakhulu, kuba uGarry unamandla amakhulu okuqonda ngokukhawuleza kumbono womsebenzisi ukuba zeziphi iimfuno zabo nokuba bayoneliseka na. Ke, nokuba sicinga ukutyala imali kwinkampani okanye ukunceda inkampani ikhule, uhlala enesimo sengqondo sokuyila xa esondela kwizinto.

Zeziphi ezinye zezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ozijonga kwindawo yokuqalisa?
Sifuna ukubona umseki esaziyo ukuba akazukuyeka. Sithetha nge-mascot ye- [Initialized Capital] ye-honey badger njengophawu lwento esiyifunayo kubasunguli-kufuneka bazinyamezele ngokwenene. Kwiintsuku zokuqala zenkampani, bambalwa kakhulu abantu abazokukholelwa kuwe. Kuya kufuneka ungabi nombono wokuba umhlaba uza kuba njani, kodwa ube nakho ukuthatha amanyathelo okwenyani kwixesha elifutshane ukuya apho.
Abasunguli abakhulu abanesibindi nje; Bayakwazi ukuhlangula nokwenza. Yinto leyo esiyifunayo ngokwenene. Siyakubona oko ngokusekwe kumkhondo wabo: bebesenza ntoni kwiminyaka ekhokelela kule ntlanganiso? Ngaba bebesebenza kolu shishino, bejongana neengxaki zokwenyani? Okanye ngaba bebexakekile nje kukuthumela iikhowudi kunye nokwazisa iimveliso? Yintoni entle, nayo. Nantoni na abayenzileyo bexesha elidlulileyo luphawu olulungileyo lweenjongo zabo, kunye nokukwazi kwabo ukwenza kubo.

Kubaluleke kangakanani ukuba isindululo semveliso siyithelekise necandelo elithile ukuqala kweseshishini?
Silihle kwicandelo le-agnostic. Ngokwenyani, sifuna ukuba kwangexesha kangangokuba izinto ezininzi azikabikho, kuba imikhwa ihlala isenzeka emva koko. Ukuba siyaya kwezi ntlanganiso zentsingiselo sineempawu zengqondo, sele sishiywe lixesha. Oko kwathethi, sifuna ukwazi ukuba ithuba lentengiso likhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba lakhe ishishini lezigidigidi. Kodwa ngaphaya koko, sibashiyela kubasunguli ukuba basifundise into entsha-nokuba basibonise into ebesingazi ukuba ingakho okanye ibekhona, okanye sincede sicinge ngokwahlukileyo malunga nomzi-mveliso esicinga ukuba siyazi yonke into ngawo. Ukuba ibala lakho lenza enye yezo zinto zimbini, mhlawumbi ujongana nengxaki elungileyo.
Okwangoku, ukhokela ukhuphiswano losomashishini ngokubambisana ne-1850 Brand Coffee ukubonelela ngenkxaso mali yokuqala kwiingcinga ezithembisayo zeshishini. Uqaphele ntoni kwiindawo zokuqalisa ozifumeneyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku? Ngaba ikhona into ebambe ingqalelo yakho?
Eyona nto yayinomdla kum yayikukuba sibonile uluhlu olubanzi kangaka lweendawo, ukusuka kumalizo kakhulu ukuya kurhwebo kakhulu ukuya kwiiprojekthi zentlalo, oko kuthetha ukuba impumelelo iza kulinganiswa yimpembelelo yentlalo iyonke, hayi ingeniso. Yayilichukumisa entle kakhulu kulo lonke eli phulo.
Ndicinga ukuba abasunguli baya ngokucinga ngakumbi malunga nefuthe kwezentlalo, nokuba benza iinzame zorhwebo. Umzekelo, ngakumbi nangakumbi abasunguli baqalisile ukucinga malunga nelifa abaza kulishiya. Ndicinga ukuba kufuneka kubekho amathuba anje, kuba sinezimvo ezintle kunye nabaseki abanamandla kuyo yonke indawo. Kwaye ndifuna ukunceda uninzi lwabo kangangoko kunokwenzeka ekusasazeni izimvo zabo ezinesibindi.
Leliphi ingcebiso onayo kubasunguli beshishini abanemvelaphi yobugcisa benkululeko njengawe? Baqala phi kwisoftware-yokutya yonke into yanamhlanje?
Njengomsunguli oneshishini kunye nedigri yezembali, ndingatsho ukuba kuye kwalula kunangaphambili ukuvavanya umbono weshishini. Mane ubeke iwebhusayithi, iphepha lokufika, kunye nabasebenzisi ngqo kulo. Unokuluvavanya ngokukhawuleza lonke uluvo ngoku ngokukhawuleza kwaye ngexabiso eliphantsi kunanini na ngaphambili.
Kananjalo ungaziva uzikhusele ngokugqithisileyo malunga nombono wakho. Abanye abasunguli benza impazamo yokungafuni ukwabelana ngezimvo zabo ezinesibindi, kuba banexhala lokuba umntu uza kuyiba. Kodwa inyani kukuba phantse ayenzeki. Kwaye ukuba ufuna ukuphumelela, ekugqibeleni uza kuyazisa loo ngcamango inesibindi kwaye umntu othile uza kuyikopa. Leyo yinxalenye yokwenza ishishini, kwaye kufuneka uqhubeke nokuphucula. Ke, sukuyivala izimvo zakho ezinesibindi. Yifumane phambi kwabantu abaninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
Umbuzo osebenzayo: Ekugqibeleni, yonke inkampani yezobuchwephesha kufuneka ifumane iinjineli ezinkulu. Kodwa, ukuba umseki akanabuchule kubunjineli okanye ukufaka iikhowudi, uxelela njani ukuba ngoobani iinjineli ezinkulu ezivela kophakathi?
Kunene. Umdlalo uqaphele umdlalo. Kunzima kakhulu. Elona cebiso lilungileyo ndinokulinika, ngakumbi ukuba basesesikolweni, kukuqala bafunde indlela yokukhowudi. Ungaqhubeka ngokwenyani Codecademy okwangoku simahla kwaye uqalise ukufunda. Oko akufuneki, kodwa ndiyincoma kakhulu. Sisona sakhono siluncedo onokuthi usifunde ngoku.
Kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo, ukuba uyakholelwa kumbono wakho ngokwaneleyo, kwaye awungobuchwephesha kodwa ufuna ukwakha into kwihlabathi lesoftware, kuya kufuneka ubenomntu kwinethiwekhi yomhlobo wakho onokuthi uqiniseke ukuba akujoyine okanye wenze ingxelo yokuqala ngokwakho. Unokuba nevenkile yophuhliso yakhela iprototype yokuqala, kodwa ibiza kakhulu.
Ucinga ukuba loluphi uncedo olukhulu kubasunguli abanemvelaphi yobugcisa benkululeko, ukuba kukho enye?
Ndicinga ukuba ukufumana uqeqesho ngendlela yokuhlanganisa uluhlu olubanzi lweembono kwibali elihambelanayo kwaye unxibelelane neli bali yinto eyandinceda kakhulu isidanga sam. Imfundo yezoluntu iyakulungiselela ngokwenyani ngendlela eyahlukileyo yezinye iindlela. Ixabiso lokucinga okunzulu kunye nokunxibelelana yinto oyisebenzisa imihla ngemihla. Injalo kuphela loo nto ayonelanga ekwakheni into.
Kodwa njengoko benditshilo, zininzi iindlela zokuqalisa ukukhetha eso sakhono kunye neebhloko ezininzi zokwakha esele zibekelwe wena. Ngokwenene akukaze kube lula ukufunda indlela yokwenza ikhowudi. Kwaye kuya kuhlala kulula. Ukuba usomashishini aqale phezulu, yile nto ndingayicebisa.
