ExO’s have a Massive Tranformative Purpose (MTP)
“The MTP is the higher, aspirational purpose of the organization, capturing the hearts and minds of those both inside and (especially) outside the organization.”

2. Understanding the Entrepreneur’s / Innovator’s Dilemma• Lifestyle: Work to live their passion• Small Business: Work to feed the
family• Scalable: Born to be Big and Global• Buyable: Grow to be Acquisition
Target• Social: Born to make a Difference• Large Company Startups: Innovate
or Evaporate
What’s different about a Scalable Startup?• Breadth of an entrepreneurs’ vision• Founders’ personal goals• Size of the target market• Customer and Agile development to find the
business model• World-class founding team and initial
employees• Passionate belief and a reality distortion field
According to PayPal founder Peter Thiel in Zero to One,
• “… a good startup should have the potential for scale built in to the first design…”
• “…The perfect target market for a startup is a small group of particular people (organizations) concentrated together and served by few or no competitors…”
