succeed the most,
for startup success.
最も影響する要因についてです
to make the world a better place.
理想的な形だと思います
with the right equity incentives
in a way never before possible.
人類の可能性を開拓できます
unbelievable things.
organization is so great,
そこまで素晴らしいならば
actually matters most
最も重要なのは何かを
to be systematic about it,
体系的に探したいと思いました
and maybe misperceptions I have
I've seen over the years.
避けたかったのです
since I was 12 years old
in junior high school,
solar energy devices,
I started software companies.
私はソフトウェアの会社を始めました
I started Idealab,
we started more than 100 companies,
success and failure.
見通そうとしました
the idea was everything.
for how much I worship
アイデアラボと命名したのは
come up with the idea.
「やったー」という瞬間への信奉からです
the execution, adaptability,
チーム、運営、適応性が
ということです
boxer Mike Tyson on the TED stage,
引用することになろうとは
punched in the face." (Laughter)
誰もが計画を持っている」(笑)
about business as well.
言えると思います
in the face by the customer.
適応能力に負うところが大きい
was the most important thing.
思うようになったんです
at the business model.
注目し始めました
generating customer revenues?
明快な手段があるか?
in my thinking
何かということについての
most for success.
占め始めました
intense amounts of funding.
受けることがあります
これが一番大切かも?
the timing.
the world's not ready for it?
世の中が準備できていないかも?
and you have to educate the world?
世の中を教育する必要があるのでは?
already too many competitors?
すでに競合企業が多すぎる?
at these five factors
多数の企業を
Idealab companies,
企業100社全部と
something scientific about it.
NetZero, Tickets.com --
NetZero、Tickets.comーは
Desktop Factory, Peoplelink --
Desktop Factory、 Peoplelinkー
but didn't succeed.
成功しませんでした
of those attributes
on each of those dimensions.
採点してみました
I looked at wild successes,
Youtube、LinkedInなど
and Youtube and LinkedIn.
大成功企業についてもやりました
資本が潤沢で
in some cases,
あるものもありましたが
actually accounted the most
これらの企業全ての成功や失敗に
all of these companies,
見極めようとしました
between success and failure.
the uniqueness of the idea,
アイディアのユニークさは
the idea isn't important,
申し上げません
the idea wasn't the most important thing.
私はとても驚きました
it was actually timed.
アイディアより重要なのです
made sense to me actually.
資金調達であることは納得できました
makes sense to be that low
without a business model
are demanding what you're creating.
付け加えれば良いからだと思います
but you're gaining traction,
事業に弾みがつけば
intense funding.
潤沢な資金を得られるからです
examples about each of these.
説明させてください
that everybody knows about.
爆発的な成功例です
passed on by many smart investors
見過ごしたことで有名です
in their home to a stranger."
と考えたからです
間違いとわかりました
a good idea, great execution,
優れていたからではなく
right during the height of the recession
不況のどん底の時期で
their own home to a stranger.
しれません
incredible business model,
ビジネスモデルが素晴らしく
into the system.
it was very, very important.
とても重要なのです
came out when people needed web pages.
ウェブページの需要が出始めた時期でした
actually at TED in 1998,
GoTo.com は
cost-effective ways to get traffic.
交通手段を探していました
maybe more important.
もっと重要だったようです
it was an online entertainment company.
Z.comを起こしたとき
we had a great business model,
ビジネスモデルも素晴らしく
Hollywood talent to join the company.
契約済みでしたが
was too low in 1999-2000.
低すぎました
video content online,
視聴することは困難で
and do all this stuff,
データの圧縮・解凍が必要でした
went out of business in 2003.
was solved by Adobe Flash
データ圧縮・解凍の問題が解決し
crossed 50 percent in America,
50%を超えたとき
最高のタイミングでした
a business model when it first started.
ビジネスモデルがありませんでした
that would work out.
分かりませんでした
beautifully timed.
最高の方法は
consumers are really ready
顧客が使う準備ができているか
any results that you see,
真摯に受け止めること
you want to push it forward,
世に出したいと思うでしょうから
about that factor on timing.
真摯にならねばなりません
and make the world a better place.
より良い場所になれる思います
have a slightly higher success ratio,
少しでも上昇し
come to the world
素晴らしいものが
you've been a great audience.
