Design
101
Want to create and dominate a
new technology category?
The company
that designs
the space is
best
positioned to
dominate it.
This simple, powerful
idea is changing the
way people think
about company
building.
To increase the odds,
savvy technology
CEOs are proactive
about designing their
product, their
company and their
category.
The Odds Are Against Us
Less than 1% of VC-backed technology
companies are ever worth $1B or more.
Play Bigger
Time To Market Cap Report
Since 2000 the United States has
produced only 83, $1B+ market cap
technology companies.
Play Bigger
Time To Market Cap Report
Winning technology companies are growing in value
almost 3X faster now vs. the early part of this century.
Leading consumer tech startups are growing market
cap at more than $600m per year.
Leading enterprise companies are growing
market cap at more than $100m per year.
Play Bigger
Time To Market Cap Report
Survival of the Fastest
A 6 year old startup that is not worth $500m today,
will likely never be worth a $1 billion.
Never mind become A Category King.
And yet, the rewards for the winners
are proven.
Category Kings Earn
70-80% Market Cap of Their Space
How do you increase the odds?
Most technology CEOs focus on two
dimensions of competition:
1) Build a great technology (product)
2) Build a great company (sales)
They believe that when enough people see
their new, better, faster, cheaper, and cooler
technology the category war will be won.
Some even say things like,
“We make shit and sell shit.
Everything else
is bullshit.”
Winners do not leave their category
to chance.
They take control over the development of a
new market.
Introducing
Category
Design
The discipline of creating and monetizing
new markets.
Winning today requires
dimensions of competition
Category Design
Category
King
Company Design:
How you want you organization to work.
Product Design:
How you want your technology to work.
Category Design:
How you want your market to work.
Category
Category
King
The Category Is The Strategy
• Customers need new categories as
mental tags to organize new products
in their minds
• Before customers care about what a
new product does they have to
understand what problem it solves
• Categories create hierarchies of value
• Must have
• Nice to have
• Not interested
Rapid innovation creates rapid confusion.
Category design requires a shift in thinking.
Category Design Strategy
Traditional Strategy Category Design Strategy
• Focus on products &
sales
• Existing TAM
• Known problem
• Sales / mktg push
• Product plans
• Partners
• Focus on product, sales &
category
• Category potential
• New problem
• Market pull
• Category blueprint
• Category ecosystem
Marketing Vs. Category Design
Marketing Category Design
• Compete for share
• Compete for market cap
• Existing competition
• Capture demand
• Messaging
• Evangelize features
• Attack competitors
• Create new space
• Create new value
• No competition
• Create market pull
• Point of View
• Evangelize category
• Attack the problem
Too much is at stake to leave the category to
chance.
Design

Dominate
the market
