Priscila 'Pree' Silva on hearing Eric at Startup Day Seattle

Ex-P&G exec turned portfolio-career builder spent 20 years in 'rooms optimized for certainty.' She names Eric's three missing words from The Lean Startup — and the line stuck. 26 likes.

“One thing Eric Ries said that stuck with me: On Lean Startup he told builders to change the world. But he left out 3 words: "for the better." His new book, Incorruptible, is about exactly that. How companies drift from their mission as they scale. And anything that lasts requires you to build ones that don't. For someone who spent 20 years inside systems optimized for shareholder value at all permissable legal costs... hearing him talk about building for human flourishing felt different.” — Priscila 'Pree' Silva on LinkedIn
